If I were rich I would like an EV based on the fact that I hate gasoline.

But I dont trust my road safety on a billionaire crybaby who gets triggered by the word "cisgender"

When our current car dies, I'd like to replace it with an EV - but 0% chance it'll be a Tesla.

Lots of better options out now. And in 5 years, Tesla may be the worst of them, given how bad their quality control is.

I just wish it wasn't their charging network that manufacturers were moving to, but I have to admit that it is better than the alternatives. And we do need a single standard like gas.

I wouldn't say there are lots of better options out there. There's definitely a lot of options. But there aren't many that I have seen that are better. Those that are, are more expensive. Those that are cheaper and better are Chinese and aren't available in the US market. I know this because we do receive Chinese vehicles here. From memory, top three selling EV brands here are Tesla, and two other Chinese brands. There are some equivalent alternative options, but it might not be for all people either.

This is exactly it for me too. I’m definitely going electric in my next vehicle, but it definitely isn’t going to be a Tesla.

I said the same thing. Then I test drove every EV I could get my hands on and had an appointment to buy the ID.4. Then I finally caved in and test drove a model 3 just to be sure I wasn't making a mistake. I was making a mistake. The model 3 blew everything else away at a lower price (excluding the Bolt EUV which was just boring an uncomfortable but $10k cheaper). I bought the model 3. I hate Musk and I refuse to buy his overpriced memestock too. But the car is truly fantastic.

you hate the fascist, and you just can't help supporting and enriching him further, because you got a better deal on a commodity. oh boy, aren't you smart. and this is how the world ends.
