The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

[semi_infinite]

A friend switched recently from X5 bought 2 years ago to Tesla X recently. That was a surprise as he drives far as part of his business to different manufacturers on the west coast. Another one switched from Volt to Tesla S as he was so pleased by the Volt and the lease was up. I see i3s around and a few i8s, I consider those a waste of excellent engineering. Either go gasoline or EV, hybrids are neither here or there IMO. BMW has no choice but to go full electric at the high end. Tesla is eating Mercedes and BMW high end business where I am. Having driven/ridden those cars, luxury car makers are scrambling to catch up or should be.
