Tesla owners are overwhelmingly men, and the most common occupations are engineer, software engineer, and manager of operations, one study found.

This makes a lot of sense. Tesla is a slightly higher-end car, and it's not surprising that it attracts people from the engineering fields.

People who work in engineering/tech would be slightly more inclined to buy cutting-edge products.

The funny thing is that it’s objectively not a higher end car. It’s just a cheap Corolla with a big computer in it. Tesla’s build quality is also complete shit, as easily seen in the panel fitment (or anything fitment).

I don’t think you know what “objective” means. At least define your criteria more broadly to make a hyperbolic claim like this.

The interior is not on the level of Mercedes but the whole package counting performance, drive and features is luxury.

People fall over themselves to talk down Tesla since Elon is a prick but let’s please try to stay rational here vs knee jerk reddit like reactions.

I'm in the market to replace my current EV, having looked at the M3 and Y, locally here in New Zealand the panel gaps look perfect although these might be the Chinese made models?

Panel gaps were mostly an early model issue afaik
