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.

Which will outlive Tesla cars at least by decade.
