Too new. Electric. The model S isn't even 5 years old, is it? Vehicle life span needs to be 5-10 in excellent condition. BMW has hit that 5 year mark (granted...barely) for some time.
Also, I'm sure their sales count isn't all that high compared to any other make. I wouldn't doubt Aston sells way more than Tesla.
