Is this a transition period for the industry? Are people now only buying based on it being the car they need vs the idea of the car they want? Electric is clearly the now. It is practical and competitive and getting better by the day so maybe it isn't special anymore and maybe the Tesla brand premium is falling because of that. I know that I for one haven't bought one for two big reasons:
1) I haven't bought a new car in my life. I always buy used. Electric and used don't normally go together, especially with the 'your car is a subscription' model.
2) The trend of connected cars and 0 privacy is keeping me from purchasing anything connected. Is this a significant factor for others too?
These two reasons aren't specific to Tesla, but my impression is that they are worse for Tesla than other car makers.
