That's roughly equivalent to a Audi etron SUV.

The Audi wins hands down in terms of design, build, fit and finish, materials, ease of use, and overall luxury.
The Tesla has a better drivetrain and longer range, more power, better support for charging.

In my opinion, versatility is about equal because of the stupid sloping hatch on the Tesla, but the load floor is really high on the Audi. Most ppl don't like 400km a charge like the Tesla, and 400km isn't really enough to go anywhere in around PNW either, Europe maybe. It depends on what you are looking for at the end.

People buy them the same reason they bought the Prius. It's the factor of the badge and what it represents.
I've been picked up by Teslas using Uber, and would never ever guess that it was a $100K car. Always felt more like a Civic or Prius or whatever, but electric. Just a car.
