If I was interested in a Tesla, I would be in the market for a Model S, not another Model 3. The Charger Daytona that I'm looking at is also multiples of what I'd paid for my Model 3.
I've yet to meet someone that was out looking for an ioniq 6 and if the dealer doesn't have one they drive home the second choice car 2x-3x the price. That sounds like someone just throwing out words. The Mach-e is in the same ballpark though.
We're replacing a single Model 3 shared by myself (works from home) and my partner (commutes). I make due now by taking my motorcycles, but that has some significant inconveniences. My partner wants a mostly-boring, sensible car for commuting (the Ioniq) and I want something spicy (the Charger). The two cars have two very different purposes and intended price points. So to your point, you're making bad assumptions about intentions.
