My impression is that Tesla's are (were) status symbols people bought to flaunt their wealth [1].
Perhaps Musk's persona has kind of killed that though. Or at least he causes one to weigh the status aspect of the car against the politics they increasingly represent.
[1] The thing I've alsways disliked most about Tesla actually — not a car "for the people" — way too rarefied, elite.
