Wow that chart is telling.

But I designed interior parts, so it's my own Engineering take. Tesla's were not competitive at all. The gaps between panels were so bad, you could stick your finger in it. That's not just an appearance issue, kids and adults will mess around with large gaps and put stuff inside.

And features in the interior were non existent. (Especially for a luxury car)

Almost funny how they manage to sell tech and a bit of style as luxury :)

I guess meaning is relative so 2020 luxury means curves, a tablet and skateboard battery pack.

I'd say the he Model 3 is sold as a modern car rather than a luxury car.
Interesting that you are just glossing over the fact that a) Tesla trounces all competition on performance and b) Tesla trounces basically everyone on safety as well.

I guess that's inconvenient to mention?

a) for that kind of money, and lack of features, it better go fast (cornering, meh, not so much).

b) You are commenting on an article that talks about a Tesla loosing its roof. That's a new one on me, and I'd thought I'd seen it all back when I was an auto mechanic.

Gaps seem better these days. I'd be interested to see some of the analysis on the 3 updated.
