If the status is "I can't afford a BMW" then yes, it's a status symbol.

Then the issue is not with Tesla, it's with high performance cars. You are comparing small commuter cars with high performance cars. Among which, Tesla is the cheapest.
I'd love to see where an iX1 is 40k, in Germany it starts at 48k... with less power, smaller battery and a whole lot of equipment missing. Want a glass roof? 1500€. Want a wireless charger? Then you need the premium package, 1750€. A big screen? 3200€, please! A nicely configured one comes to around 60k. An equivalen model y is 45k.
A Tesla is significantly cheaper than an equivalent combustion car.
Are you comparing a 5 seat 400HP tesla with a 4 seat 120HP Renault? Of course the 120HP Renault is cheaper.
Compare it to a 400HP BMW (or even a 200HP Renault).
EDIT: a Tesla Model 3 is 43.000€, a Renault Megane RS starts at 50.000€
Not in the EU for sure. American cars have always been "lots of horsepower and low-ish quality for a low price", and Tesla keeps the trend.
So am I. Who cares.
Where in the world is Tesla a status symbol? Because I bought my M3P because I couldn't afford a BMW i4 M50, let alone a iX or EQS/EQE AMG. The BMW is similar size and performance and costs 30% more.
I still like it, but it was the compromise option.
I'm sure using hours of 4k bandwidth while getting nothing in return is a great deal for alphabet... 🙄
Bandwidth is EXPENSIVE. If you are not clicking on the ads and not even watching the ads, every minute you use the site is costing them money. They are just optimizing costs by cutting all "leechers".
YouTube doesn't need "exposure" or to "convince investors of an active user base". They don't need to keep users that cost them money because they have enough users already. They are well into the "monetization" phase.
EV, because it burns slower
Ignites faster? A cigarette or just a static spark can Ignite gas fumes, you need to do pretty catastrophic damage to a pack for it to Ignite...
Look, we didn't read past the title on reddit, we're not gonna start now.
