Just because someone has a higher paycheck and a slightly nicer car doesn’t mean they have made it beyond living a paycheck to paycheck grind. Most of these people are living in a slightly more expensive neighborhood that eats up a lot of those slightly higher wages and they still have to budget for major purchases like a new car. Tesla owners aren’t a bunch of hedge fund managers living in mansions behind gates, separate from the rest of us. I don’t have a Tesla myself, but I live in a boring suburban neighborhood full of Teslas.
Its on a list of 10 cheapest luxury cars you can buy in 2025, along with mercedes and BMWs.
While that motortrend list is not an authority I think it echos a common sentiment regular people in america have, which is that 45k is a lot for a car.
47k is still a luxury car my dude.
