You want marker dominance? Make a cheap EV hatchback.
I want a damn sedan that isn't over 100k. Everyone has a damn SUV of some sort, I want a city car that seats 4.
I want one that seats 2 and can hold a gym bag and groceries.
The "crossover" SUVs are basically station wagons with similar length and width as typical sedans, with slightly more height that tends to be extended back to the rear passengers and a hatch-style rear gate for lots more "trunk" room that is also sometimes accessible from the passenger compartment. When they're parked next to each other, sedans and crossover SUVs are basically the same size.
I'll never buy a Tesla but it is still worth noting that their Model 3 still sells well, and is an affordable sedan. Other manufacturers should be competing for that particular segment of the market, and I'd expect Toyota especially to make a move at a more affordable version of an EV sedan if their Lexus ES EV ends up being successful.
