How big is the market for a pretty expensive first car? I’d guess that most luxury sedans are purchased by relatively older people.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know why this article fell off the front page so quickly? Did I do something wrong?

You know, I wonder if the upcoming IPOs (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/07/style/uber-ipo-san-franci...) had any impact on this decision. It seems like there might actually be quite a few people potentially in the market for an expensive first car pretty soon.

Tesla has done a pretty good job positioning itself as the car to buy even if you've never really wanted to own one before, imo -- assuming you can afford one.
