Tesla is the new status symbol. Tech is in today. If you are an elite business man and don't have the highend flagship phone, either pixel 3 or iphone XR etc... you are not respected. Similarly if you don't have the coolest and most high tech car (Tesla), you are not respected.

Interesting. I work in LA, and Tesla's are already passe in the entertainment, music, and sports industries. If you still drive a Tesla, it means you weren't on the waitlist for the Jaguar i-PACE. Executives are already bragging about preordering the Porsche Taycan.
Having ridden in every model Tesla and test-driven an i-PACE, Tesla should be terrified. The i-PACE doesn't have the range or acceleration of a Tesla, but everything else about the car--including, most importantly, ride comfort (this is LA, after all...0 to 60 speed is irrelevant in rush hour traffic)--is miles ahead of what Tesla can muster.
