My wife leased the first electric car in her company 10 years ago. We have driven the BMW i3, Hyundai kona electric, Skoda enyaq, and model 3. The last 2 are our current daily drivers.

The i3 brought the electric amazingness, the Kona brought range and more practicality. Model 3, while being standard range, brought an infotainment system that has no equal and is just very good to drive with even more range.We've had it for 2 years with zero issues. I did install a hud android screen to have a waze, but i rarely use it anymore. And the rims scratch by even looking at a curb. I thought the enyaq 85 L&K full option would blow the model 3 out of the water, but it just doesn't. It is more practical (i'm skiing right now in the alps with 2 adults and 2 children and no need for a roof or towhook box). However, it doesn't come close my friend's model y in pure storage space. It also drives like a shoebox, and tesla's 1 pedal drive is just better.

While the support from tesla is at times really bad, this is also due to leasing companies not being onboard with tesla's full digital approach. At the same time, the support from VW group on skoda is not much better. Hyundai's support we never needed as they just don't break. BMW service is very good if your leasing pays for it. Otherwise, you are just a money milking cow.

Now, in 2 years, i need to lease again, and as long as musk is at the reigns, it will not be a tesla. Changing his ways is not enough. He needs to go and fully be out of the company management tree before i would consider tesla again

Skoda Enyaq is a notoriously mid and disappointing vehicle, it's VAG after all, they penny pinch you on the weirdest shit.

Probably the id7 is the only vehicle worth considering from the VAG lineup, maybe the cupra born VZ, but I believe they didn't fix the steering wheel in that.
