But i drive through Kerrisdale, Shaugnessy, etc. on a weekly basis and there’s a tonne of old econo shit boxes.
People drive them because they are trendy, the fob who barely knows how to plug her EV in probably isn’t concerned with a net positive in gas VS EV.

The japanese luxury cars are still clearly souped of versions of the standard Toyota, Nissan, or Honda.

A bunch of our kid's friends recently swapped to TMY, they came from X3 (lease was up), GLC (tired of it), Hyundai (burning a quart of oil every tank). So it is all over the spectrum. The X3 folks swapped cause of the frunk, the GLC family wanted something different, the Hyundai family drove a lot so the EV made sense.

Interesting that the frunk would be a deciding factor for some families. I guess I do enjoy the added "exterior" storage esp to put takeout in so it doesn't seep into the rest of the interior space.

I was surprised on my buddy's i4 when he got it that the front has no storage... just a big plastic cover... I've never looked into what's inside the front of the i4 but you'd think there would be a lot space without the engine in there. Seems like a missed opportunity.

^^ Can confirm. I had a look yesterday and laughed when I opened it. There's just a second cover the size of the hood with two little hatches for service.

Plus not all of them have to roll up to flex on people at a brown wedding.
older chinese who have money all drive pretty modest cars. Only their sons and daughters want to be more show-off-ish.
The older i get, the more i dont give a shit either. Thus my shanghinese family think im dead broke now since i drive a toyota corolla.

The difference between a Corolla and a Tesla is no one is going to think you are poor for driving a Tesla.
I used to sometimes drop off or pick up my nephew from St Georges private school. I would see Range Rovers, BMW's Mercedes some Porches and a bunch of Tesla's. People driving cars like a Corolla would be the staff and the nannies. Same goes for places like Hollyburn country club.

They might not be poor but 9 times out of 10 those are the people trying to show that they're rich but are actually financed out the wazoo and own very little. The truly rich dgaf, their stuff is nice but it's much more subtle.

That must be in your head. Every rich person I know drives a shitbox (relatively speaking). Wealthy people? Sure nice fancy cars. But rich? Used, practical or cheap. Every one! lol.

That's just kind of pathetic.

I use to pick up my nephew in my Honda Ridgeline. One of the students dads owned a NHL team another owned a large clothing chain. One of the parents had a private jet. When his son was playing in a hockey tournament in another province he would take his jet and give some of the parents a ride.
My whole point is people looking at Mercedes and BMW are also looking at Tesla. It's in the same class. It might not have the fit and finish as the others but it is the cutting edge of tech.

I think the bare minimum is a Bentley, and the average would be chauffeured rolls, or something better than a lousy german taxi like a mercedes.
Unless they dont care about cars, then if thats the case they sure as fuck dont care about a stinking tesla either. Its not like they want to save the environment jet setting around the world in a private plane.
