42 thousand for a brand new vehicle, and you think that's a luxury item?

Bear in mind, the idea of an electric vehicle is you pay more up front, and less in running costs.

Thats 3 budget vehicles, no? Any other product that's costs 3x of a budget version price is a luxury product.

It's also less than half the price of a 7 series BMW, which is a vehicle most people would consider a "luxury" vehicle.

Luxury just means certain point beyond normal price. If doesn't mean the most expensive option.

The average price of a new vehicle in the US is 48k. That's what most people would consider "normal price"
