It is a very reasonable price for a fully electric luxury sedan with these features.

I would strongly disagree there. The interior quality e.g. leather, door/dash finishings are very poor compared to other cars at this price point. It feels far more like a basic Mazda than a Mercedes, LandRover etc.

I know you are paying a premium for electric but it is a luxury car none the less.

Nah, it does feel more premium than a Mazda, more like the entry-mid level offerings from German luxury manufacturers (CLA, C-class, 2xx series, 3xx/4xx series, A3, A4/A5) than their offering at those price points (E-class, 5xx/6xx series, A6/A7).

I still stand by my assertion. When I took it for a test drive it felt very similar to the Mazda I drive for work. Maybe the models in the US differ quite a lot from what we have in Australia.

It definitely doesn't feel like a $100K car (which is very expensive here in Australia).

I am sorry, we cannot really argue about how something feels, can we? :)

For me, Tesla is a luxury brand, I might just have a bad taste. :))
