If anything, their problem is that Tesla is not luxurious enough. Luxurious brands resist recessions better than mid-level brands.

That is correct. The type of people who can comfortably afford $300,000 cars tend to not be affected by recessions.

In that case, the main competition is not GM or Ford but Porsche. If their electric line is good enough, many Tesla buyers that will remain loyal through a recession could wander off.
