Most people in Germany consider BMW and Porsche to be highly prestigious, while Tesla is seen as a wannabe hipster toy. If you consider that most CEOs are 40+ and have driven BMW for 20 years, that kinda makes sense.

This precisely proves the point i was trying to make, thank you :)

BMW, Mercedes ect represent old school "money is everything" mentality. Porsche is famously a "doubhebag" car
