    I’m specifically talking about the us. Its the only EV market I really track because it’s the only one I’d be buying in.

    Want a Tesla 3? The Ford Mach-E is cheaper and has longer range, as is also the case for the KIA EV6 and Hyundai IONIQ 5 (all with better fit and finish than the Tesla).

    Interested in the Tesla Model Y? The Cadillac LYRIC gets a little less range, but its very comparable.

    The only one that actually is strong in its price category is the Model S and there I’d say the Mercedes Benz EQS SUV isn’t so far behind that I think you’d suffer from deep uncontrollable buyers remorse (not to mention quality control on a Merc is gonna be almost unmatched by ANY auto manufacturer)

    The model x, while cheaper than the Lucid Motors Air, is no longer the all out range king. Its also MORE expensive per mile of range so I’d call it a wash. Again. All I’m saying is other vehicles offed better value propositions than Tesla, not that every Tesla offering is a bad car. If you want an EV these days it doesn’t need to be a Tesla unless you really want it to be a Tesla.

    Finally. The cyber truck. What can I say about the cybertruck? A lot it turns out! Fuck that vehicle. What fucking coked out moron designed that thing and what do they think trucks are for? Rivian and Ford both already have vehicles out that beat Tesla to be first to market and both have actual beds designed for actual truck stuff. The cyber truck is just a rich person toy for people who want to have a truck because trucks make them feel big and powerful but have never looked into what a truck is
