Hybrids/full electrics aren't the best, but from a pure consoomer point of view, I have no idea why anyone would pick a Tesla. I have a 8 year old hybrid Volt. I was warned if I go north, the battery might suck. I still get nearly 40 miles of electric drive when its cold. It handles snow and ice pretty well. My dad (somewhat of a car freak) commented on how smooth and surprisingly powerful it is.
I have problems with it, but they're minor vs losing all braking power. And thats for a discontinued, out of date, middle of the road hybrid.
In North America, only Teslas are viable if you're ever going to leave your city, because Teslas have the Tesla Supercharger network while other EVs have to deal with the hell that is Electrify America.
In other words: the Tesla Supercharger network is the killer feature of Teslas.
Note that this is changing as other auto manufacturers are adopting Tesla's formerly proprietary NACS (SAE J3400) charging standard, opening up the Tesla Supercharger network to non-Tesla EVs.
Cars and trucks suck but aren't there better EVs out there than Teslas?
Like didn't Ford make an F-150 Lightning electric truck? Don't Hyundai and Nissan make better electric cars?
Why ride in a known death trap?
yeah but its a status symbol, for some reason
it's basically just trolling with cash right now.. 5 years from now no one will admit they had one
