Every brand has owners who care about status, Tesla included. They are some of the most fun cars to drive.Trolling should be banned.
Porsche people will buy a Porsche and don't care about value - They only care about how good they look in their Porsche. To be fair, almost all present Cybertruck owners also fit this mold.
The MY was not the best selling car (or vehicle) of 2023. Slightly more MYs were sold than CRVs, but far below the RAV4. If you want to stack the MY against all US vehicles almost two F150s were sold for every MY.The reason the 2023 Tesla Model Y was the best-selling car of any kind in 2023 was because it had mass-market appeal to those that don't care about how they look and instead care about the money they save overall...even over a Toyota Corolla.
