Tesla has the best charging network, and it's not even close.When the world pays my bills I'll care. I just want accurately represented products. Tesla needs to do that for me to consider them when I replace my Kia. If not, Ill buy another HMG product.
They have the best software.
They have the best drivetrain to date.
If you don't buy a Tesla solely because they market their cars as having more range than what it gets in the "real world", that's on you.
It's not like they're far inferior to the competition. Quite the opposite.
Many of the new EV options out there are still behind the original MS in many ways.
The competition is only going to push all of them to get better, including Tesla.
The new "Highland" M3 has like 50% all new parts, improvements at nearly every level, and yet Tesla didn't raise the price!
Name any other car manufacturer that has done that. You can't, because none have.
Tesla is a market disruptor. Elon, like him or not, has a vision to change the world. And Tesla is doing that.
Wait until the Model 2/Mini Y comes out. A brand new EV for $25k. It's going to accelerate the ICE demise even faster.
"When the world pays my bills...". Really? Get off your high horse.
Marketing/Sales firms worldwide are not paid to "accurately represent products". They're paid to sell them.
So if Tesla's use of the EPA's figures has negatively affected them, it sure doesn't show.
I couldn't care less what they market as their ideal range. If anyone at this point is expecting that figure, they're just delusional.
If anyone is expecting ranges similar to ICE, also not in touch with the current tech levels.
But it's getting better with every new innovation, which seems to be happening faster and faster.
Either you're ready or you're not. Hop on, hang on, or get out of the way!
