Believe it or not, the #1 selling small and midsize luxury vehicle in the US this year, by far, is the Tesla Model 3, at around $50k. For a luxury CAR.

There are zero current Harley-Davidson owners interested in a THIRTY. THOUSAND. DOLLAR. ELECTRIC. MOTORCYCLE.

This is not going to go well, I'm afraid.
have you seen the prices of the new teslas? Those folks will buy it to be cool in their little clicks. Go green....as long as you got a lot of green money. Look at the new jag e crossover or porche electric cars. This is for them.
