Ha. Your statements are contradictory!

First you say a Model S is comparable to an E/5/6 and thus it can't be cross-shopped with an S-Class because of it, then you say a Camry is in the same segment as an S-Class in terms of use, but yet it isn't cross-shopped.

The fact is that people are dropping $80-100K on a roomy sedan. And actually, the Tesla is more luxury than any of those because Autopilot is still a more luxurious feature than anything those offer short of having a private driver.

The cross shopping is in the price segment, not in the size of the car. Nick is right, people will look at E class/5 series for $75k vs a $100k Tesla and many will end up with the Tesla, and that’s why Tesla is the leader in the highest tier of luxury cars...

And that’s also why the Germans have a BIG problem. Either E class EV will be priced same as regular E class and will destroy petrol E class sales (same with Porsche and rumored Mission E), or they will price a E class EV at S class prices but many will shout the interior or the space/confort  is not good enough...
