"Most of the vehicles traded in for a Tesla are premium ICE models?" You could be right in your market, but share your source. It would make a good story. Here is a link to the vehicles traded in to Tesla in America according to Bloomberg. Top car on the list? A Toyota hybrid. Also on the list? A Volt with the same EV range as the RAV4 Prime. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2019-tesla-model-3-survey/market-evolution.html. Here is a story from Elektrek that is a bit older. Top trade-in? A Toyota Hybrid. https://electrek.co/2018/08/01/tesla-model-3-top-5-trade-in-cars/ Many buyers of Tesla vehicles are also trading in EVs. They don't need imaginary "gas savings" in their pricing to be swayed to a Tesla. It's silly to think they do.
