Tesla's first car was a six-figure performance vehicle for the rich. It's goal was to make EV's cool and attractive, not for the average consumer.

The model 3 was the FIRST Tesla that the average car consumer could consider actually getting.

The Model 3 came out in 2017, six years ago. Again, hardly "first gen iPhone" at this point. But, granted, the Roadster is not a good comparison.
