I am one of these people. I live in the Pacific Northwest, where it rains 7-8 months out of the year. A nice car will be totally ruined in a few weeks of rain around here. So everyone just drives ugly Honda Accords and AWD Subarus.

Related side note, a teacher back when I was in HS about 10 years ago told a story about how she saw Bill Gates driving a beat up mid 1990s Accura around Seattle after he was crowned the world's wealthiest individual.

What are you talking about? PNW rain isn’t going to hurt your car unless you leave the sunroof open.

Tons of people in Seattle drive late model luxury cars.

Whether this is true, rumor, or else: this. You could buy 20 cars like this for under the price of a model 3. Really, at the end of the day, everything is about just getting from point A to B!
