I never considered our model Y a prestige car. It was/is simply the type of transportation that fits our needs and situation. I was actually surprised when I saw it catagorized as a luxury car in the Consumer Reports auto issue. Other than having some whiz bang electronic features which will probably be standard in all cars very soon, it's just a car. I can say as an older person, I enjoy not having to deal with fluids, belts, etc., etc. The only thing I've done is take it in for tire rotation, add windshield washer fluid, & clean it. It fit into my overall plan of sticking it to the utility company and oil companies. We almost exclusively charge it at home, and our total outlay for electric power last year for the car and house was slightly under $45/mo. I do have a van I use for some errands, towing, & hauliing larger things. I fill it up around once every six weeks when I use up around half a tank. I think electric cars will be dominant in the future but those who, for whatever reasons, dislike them will have their choices of ICE cars for a long time to come. As far as the truck is concerned, I don't think I've seen an uglier vehicle.
