The chart he posted seems valid to me since it compares Tesla to other luxury brands.
The chart may be accurate , but it isn't at all relevant to proving Tesla being a luxury nameplate. Sales volume doesn't make Tesla a luxury brand, just as sales volume doesn't make Toyota a luxury brand.

My contention is Tesla's sales volume actually proves my point that Tesla is a mass-market brand. Luxury brands of every type of goods I can think of, experience lower sales volume than mass-market brands. It's actually completely foolish to point to higher sales volume as evidence of a brand being a luxury brand.
