Well, my used 2016 Nissan Leaf was $11k so while you're correct that Telsa appeals to the well-off, not all EVs have the same market.

$11K is still a lot for a lot of people who need a car. I generally put a limit of $4K on a car, and I could easily afford to buy brand-new. Some people don't have that choice.
