Anecdotal but I see more and more tesla’s On the road especially model 3s
Same here (in Australia). They used to be special to see, now I can't go for a walk without seeing a few. Haven't seen a 3 yet (I'm assuming they're not here yet, I don't follow it), just the S and X, but I see multiple S every time I take the kids to the park.

I guess what the comment echoed was that Tesla sell much better because of the status. And the other EVs don't enjoy such futuristic image. I'll add my own point that Tesla's image is very undeserved, it is only kept by the cult of Elon musk and incessant lies about self driving technology.
I will add my own anecdote that if anything Tesla is underrated. Not only is the drivetrain in the car worlds ahead of anything else on the road, but the fringe parts of the company like the supercharger network and service organization so far ahead of the legacy automakers that I don't see how they will ever catch up without an organizational split to separate the ICE business from the EV business.

There is only a finite number of people willing/able to spend $60k on a recreational vehicle.

why buy a sedan when you can buy a status symbol for a bit more?

It's not just a status. Any electric vehicle of that size/speed/image would cost that much or more. I know, I've looked. The Model3, even LR, is a pretty good deal compared to other EVs.

If you've tried a Model 3 for a day and you still hold the same opinion you presented here, I concede my point - but I really think you have to experience it to know why there is a lot of hype around the car. The hype is justified, surprisingly so.

Not everyone is interested in buying status symbols.

And Tesla is about to enter the pickup market.
They are? I have heard of the semi trucks but not smaller trucks.
