If they did they would be dead in a year. They sell a fraction of the >$1000 phones apple sells by the shipload. Their bread and butter is the cheap stuff.
The same way nobody wants to spent $35k on a honda when they could have a tesla.

200k Honda Accords sold in the U.S. 2020[1]. 450k Tesla Model 3 + Y sold globally[2].
Though Model 3 and Y average price closer to $49k and $65k respectively[3].
If I have a point, it's that if you have $35k to spend, you're probably getting a high trim level Honda Accord. Because you need another $15k to get an "average" Tesla Model 3.
(Obviously the Model 3 is worth spending $50k for lots and lots of buyers!)

Averages can be misleading. Id like to see the median prices given that the base tesla model 3 is VERY premium vs the base model accord which is not.
Hondas and Toyotas are tried and true with a few decades of reputation built up. And routine maintenance on those does not cost much.
Depends on who's that nobody is. The only things I personally value in cars are:
1) It *reliably* gets me from A to B
2) It accommodates my vacation stuff so I always get van.
I would not pay one single penny for car's "coolness". If I was getting car instead of van Tesla would not be in the picture despite the fact that I could buy it if I valued different things in car.
I don’t think you’re refuting the point since you’re not one of the people that fits in the hypothetical scenario the OP presented.
