I disagree
(Not that I can afford one either).
The world's full of perfectly functional cars that are cheap. Not cars you'd aspire to - but something that moves your meat-sack around.
Now there are all manner of aspirational cars as well - all the way up to the super-cars and the sky's the limit for how much they'll cost.
Tesla S isn't cheap.. but it's way way below what you could spend if money was no object - but if you want a fast accelerating tech-toy-box-on-electrical-wheels, it's the car to buy. There's nothing better.
If that's what you're wanting, suddenly the "ultimate car" in that category is.. well comparatively affordable.
