    Cars with high tech electronics and complicated touch screens like Teslas are designed and marketed to the 20 and 30 years old iPhone generation.

    They are not likely able to afford buy them new on account, if their high cost.

    The older 50's and above generations just want a simple easy to use vehicle with physical knobs and HVAC controls. They can afford to buy new cars but do not want them with their bewildering electronics.
