I don't care, my point is that this is the first EV that I (me) has any interest in. I think if automakers want to actually sell them then they need to make them so they appeal to people who are going to buy a new car. The fact is that folks are still buying traditional ICE cars at a rate of 9 to 1 over EV's.
Only in aggregate. When you compare the Model 3 to its ICE competitors, it's killing them. Sure, more people still buy Minivans, pickups, little shitboxes and actual sports cars, which don't have an EV available. But in the market where the one mass produced EV exists, it's disrupting things.
