yeah, for a while they were the only option if you wanted an EV with >80 mile range, but there are other options today

Tesla's no-dealerships, no-hassle purchasing experience is more like ordering something from Amazon instead of the usual, infuriating slog of trying to purchase a new car. Its strictly superior to the legacy car companies, and so are Tesla's batteries.

But the entire rest of the vehicle isn't the best anymore. The CEO's loud, public support for fascism is just one more nail in the coffin for a brand that was already past its prime.

You can buy a car from Carvana for the listed price and they'll deliver it to your home now. One less reason to buy Tesla.

Yeah and while the dealer network of major brands can be scummy, it also comes with pretty good parts networks, which Tesla still seems to lack, or actively impede.
