I mean do you really WANT to drive around a car from a company owned by the worlds richest and most pathetic incel who is constantly in international news for being a hateful asshole?
I mean I get that the hassle of selling and buying a new car sucks... but I agree with your wife honestly.
You know that Tesla vehicles today (2024) don't have RADAR, Ultrasonic Sensors, left-right turn signals stalks, Heads Up Displays, or Birds Eye View cameras?
For a $40k car, Teslas are.... horrifically behind in technology and extremely cheaply built. A damn Toyota Corolla can get literally more features for driving than a Tesla today.
When we get to high end luxury vehicles like... Hyundai (/s)... well...

Ignore the actual luxury vehicles in the $40k+ market at your own risk. Tesla vehicle buyers today are erm... behind? I dunno how to describe it, like they think they're techno-enthusiasts but every time I talk with them about features from the year 2020+ I feel like they're stuck in Elon Musk's 2015 hype cycle.
That was 10 years ago man. Open your eyes to what's actually available today. This is due to two factors:
Tesla has failed to keep up with technological innovations from other companies (like Toyota or Hyundai. I'm not even talking about real luxury brands either, as massage chairs, Augmented Reality HUD, yadda yadda).
Tesla has actively removed features (like RADAR or Ultrasonic sensors) as they were too expensive for the company to figure out how to deliver during the 2020 chip shortage. As such, today's 2024 vehicles are worse quality and cheaper than 2019 Tesla vehicles.
Tesla is actively moving backwards, while other automakers are moving forwards.
