Do you seriously think most people who buy larger cars now actually need them? Of course not.

People do cross comparisons and generally prefer the Model 3 for a variety of reasons. And it's cheaper.

Very weird argument. So why are they buying them if they don't "need them". And why would that reason change for model 3?
Because they feel they’re safer or cooler. Car companies are able to charge more for them so they’ve been pushing them in every way imaginable. Very weird that you didn’t know this.
You're using a very narrow definition of the word "need", well sure ok. Why would that change for model 3 again?
Yeah but what they need is a 2 door electric Smart car not a model 3, right?
A 2 seater Tesla would sell very well. Tesla would make it cool. There are already multiple companies that have recently made very cool designs for 2 seater EVs but failed due to bad leadership and running out of funding.

Unfortunately Elon is set on robotic Uber being the cheaper option.
