Where are you getting your numbers from? I'm getting my January 2020 numbers from Car & Driver, and Tesla has nothing in the top 25. Also, every sedan on that list starts at $25,000 or less. I get that options drag those numbers up (a lot of those costs are associated with dealer doc fees, taxes, and other BS), but it's telling that the best selling sedans all start well below $30,000. And I already pointed out that the 3 best-selling vehicles in the U.S. are all full-size pickups and most of the others are SUV's, so I know full well what people are buying. Adding to that, those best-selling pickups are working hard to drag the average cost of a car up. Way up! So, the average cost of a sedan is likely much lower than $34,000. Remove the pickups and the luxury cars, and those averages are going to drop in a hurry!
