I suspect a big part of the rationale is this:

"According to Tesla, the Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Toyota Prius, Nissan Leaf, and the
BMW 3 Series are the five
most commonly traded."
Taking Tesla at its word for the sake of argument, it is particularly revealing especially when you look at the contrast against the other types of vehicles in the list. And honestly, this does not surprise me at all based on what I know anecdotally about the typical BMW owner. And yes, I include myself in that group.
