It's a common enough story. I myself have quite a few friends and acquaintances who are in your camp, including a handful of bleeding-edge adopters who bought model S's seven years ago and suffered through some of the company's growing pains. The difference now, I think, is that the people who are switching to Teslas are not early adopters.

I'm not an early adopter. I currently drive a Kia. I'm buying a cybertruck. Just thought I'd give an anecdote that's not switching from the luxury market.

The KIA EV's are actually not bad for the value. Alas, dealerships are very resistant in selling them. Which is a big shame. Another reason the direct from manufacturer approach works so well for Tesla.

I'm father away from Teslas than that. My Kia is not an EV and I've never bought a new car in my life, always used. Tesla is so compelling to me that I'm jumping from practically one end of the spectrum to the other.

That's a very common theme as well. Excluding the BMW 3 series, Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Toyota Prius, and Nissan Leaf.
