Just an observation, based on nothing more than being old and having been around the block a few times.
The folks that buy those cars, are "non-conformist" in the worst sense of the world. They think they're "special" and "cutting edge". They don't want to look like everyone else, nor be associated with the mundane or status quo (per their version of the world). They'd rather drive an ugly car, with inferior quality and design, to differentiate themselves from the masses who "kowtow to THE man".
The problem with "minorities" of any sort (not an intended racial slur or anything like that, "minority" in the true sense of the word), is they all seem to adopt some outward, defining mode of dress, buying habits or social behavior, to advertise their non-conformance. In the case of Tesla, they buy ugly cars of the new Mustang. Who of our age, would ever envision a Ford Mustang, that looks anything like the new EV Mustang?
