And you don't own one, so there's that bias too. I've owned probably upwards of 8-10 vehicles before my M3. Believe me, I would get rid of it like some old shoes if I didn't like it enough. EVs are great for my purpose anyway. I'd trade for a Rivian R1S but I don't have that kind of money and it's 1-2 years of waiting.

Have you? I've been inside one every day for the past 3.5 years. I've owned many vehicles and it's been the most comfortable and reliable. Yeah there are some minor imperfections, like on any vehicle, many which have been sorted in newer year models. What makes a car not a golf cart to you? There's a reason they sell like hot cakes, can't be that ignorant.

ID4 availability is scarce. It has worse range and the base model is significantly cheaper/less premium than a Model 3 for around the same cost. More comparable to something like a Chevy Bolt.

Polestar isn't bad but worse range and software.

Wouldn't touch Hyundai or Kia, they are cheap junk and years behind.

It's too bad there still isn't a real great competitor to Tesla to scoop up buyers. A lot of people want EVs but they're still the best deal in town when you actually look at it. Every other EV is either too expensive, worse range/specs, massive recalls, or not available for years. It's almost like there's a premium just for it not being a Tesla that you pay with other EV brands.

edit: lol love all the angry 'he's right downvotes'

Not really. Why make something overseas when you can do it in your own backyard for the same or less, while improving availability for your products? China's lockdowns are hampering Apple right now big time. And not having a communist government impede your business is always preferable.
