Sure:

* People with more money are more likely to buy a Tesla

* People with more money are more likely to be happy

I'm not sure general happiness => high customer satisfaction ratings on consumer reports.

Also, while I believe that money leads to happier people, I'd imagine people with who spend more money on a car are likely to be more demanding/particular about they want out of that car (e.g. I was very forgiving with issues with my used mini cooper but I get pretty annoyed at most issues with my Model S).

From my own anecdata, the people buying Teslas are all well to do young professionals that I’d expect to be generally happy because they’re missing one of the biggest causes of life stress (financial).

Less things to be unhappy about when you are well off.
