Makes sense. In a large owner survey by Bloomberg of the Model 3, the 2nd most rated in vehicle (after the Prius) was the 3-Series. The next luxury car on the list was the Audi A4, and that was #10 on the list. I've noticed it myself in my own neighborhood. A lot of people trading their BMW 3/X3 for Tesla Model 3 and Y's.
