Tesla is pretty terrible all the way around. I'm certainly not using them for any kind of benchmark.
Using Tesla as an example is just plain silly!

A better example would be the Ford MachE Mustang: those cars are sold at MSRP, no dickering. Either you buy from inventory or order online. All the dealer does, for a set fee, is prep the car.

As to competition: At first the MachE was being sold at a premium. That only lasted a few months. Ford then had to adjust the price, just like Tesla to meet market conditions.

Just my $.02.
