Even at Tier 1 salaries it's unaffordable without parent's help.
I and my peers are 30 and younger, and work in VC, PE, IB, PM, SWE, Tech Sales, Dentists, Doctors, and other high salary jobs in the Bay Area, and even we don't want to buy cars (new, used, or EV) because the cost outlay is ridiculous, and could be better used to to save for buying a house or a condo or fully paying off student loans.
