The real point is that Tesla has been driving prices lower than other manufacturers are willing to stomach, and that resistance to price matching shows up as cars sitting on lots.
I was looking at Hyundai’s Ioniq 6, but at $38k you get less HP and meaningful/comfort features than my 2015 v6 accord that I bought in 2018 for $19k (now worth $18k).
I only drive like 3-6k miles/yr anyways.
tbf the car market seems to have out stripped baseline inflation in general though.
