The problem with the low end "Luxury" market being compared to the "Lol, screw the rules I have money" market is simply one is grounded in the mass market realities while the latter is not.
I know a couple people in the former category who own multiple cars that cost 6 figures. They'd buy a Tesla just because they want one without cost considerations. They also have a Ferrari, a Porsche, etc. Pretty much any iconic brand of luxury car they have at least 1.
The low end luxury market are engineers, doctors, etc. and they will seriously consider buying a minivan or a SUV or whatever instead. It is a completely different market and one that [frankly] is just as likely to dip into brands like the Prius hybrid.
I'm sure Tesla will get sales but imagining some sort of dominance is silly.
