Yes, these "other" guys has been building their EVs for a few years now. But there is a reason why ppl still buy or pick a Tesla over them. If you just looking for a "boring" EV to commute around town...YES, those single motor are great deal if you can get them for MSRP and tax credit. As long as you have a ICE backup to do road trip.
Silverp85+ are right tho, the new 3 and Y prices are getting out of reach for most ppl. But other brand is going up too. U might not see it from MSRP, but the markup is still there.
im planning a road trip soon so having the SC network is priceless. Its a piece of mind knowing that I can get from A to B and not have to worry about fueling up my EV. Im from CA so ton of SC here. I usually travel during the week so never experience any lines yet for the past 2 years. I never used EA but had $1000 EvGO credit to use for my first LR MY. Draining that $1000 credit was a pain! thats about 10,000 miles. 50Kwh charging speed is more liked 30-40 kWh. 20% of the time u get to a station, its either full or a couple malfunction stall. Also slow charging speed at 20 ish kwh. Always in my head going to the station, something will go wrong. Takes 1-2 min to fire up the charging, then wait 1-2 min to make sure it don't stop charging. Then 30-45 min to charge depending on ur battery. Im glad there's a station near my house so I used it all up. I wanted to give the last couple hundred dollar away since the experience was so horrible. I will never use EvGo again if I don't have to!
So yea, a Tesla is worth every dollar to me compared to any other EV. iF you want a fun daily driver and can go road tripping, there's no other EV that can provide that kind of experience. No need to mention all the perks with a Tesla, we all know it by now. Until these other legacy auto comes out with a fun car, a reliable charging network and more range, Tesla can take all my money. Including charging me for their mobile charger! lol
one last thing, I don't think anymore here mention before. Their app is amazing! IF Tesla app sucks, I might not recommend to any of my friends. The app is very important to me. Its the complete user experience. My wife have a second gen Prius plug in. Man, Toyota app sucks. Can't even lock or unlock doors, turn on AC or heating. Thats all Im asking for. Yes, we did paid their $8 monthly subscription to try for 3 months. The AC or heating does work time to time after they updated their app. It was horrible before that. Still can't lock or unlock doors. I have a tip for Toyota and other auto, build ur app first. Make sure its reliable and maybe they stand a chance. My buddy has a leaf and Nissan app sucks even more! Oh yea, maybe not charge ppl a month subscription just to do common task! my 2 cents.
