Just guessing, but wouldn't surprise me if most luxury brands are struggling at the moment. I don't think this is the right time to buy a brand new, luxury car for most people. Considering the inflation, unemployment and uncertainty.

Is Tesla a luxury brand?

They don’t sell a car over 62000€ in Europe.

Extremely relative. I escaped part of the US where any car that started reliably was luxury. New, or brand selection, was absolutely out of the question.

62k Euros gets a lifetime of used vehicles. I'll say the quiet thing: buying a new car and taking the depreciation is a form of luxury. More about status than getting to the destination.

Dan has a point. I could pay for half of a house right now, committing seems silly until things cool down. Two articles away from being relocated again, despite working remotely.
