You're paying Mercedes prices for Lada tier QA.

And with every brand in Europe and Asia now having quality EV models going the whole spectrum of sizes, Teslas just don't compete by anything other than its name anymore. And with better long term respected brands being available as EVs and Musk taking Teslas reputation down with him, only die hard Musk simps will still buy Tesla.

I'll soon be in the market for an EV, and I wish what you're saying we're true.

Other brands are more expensive, and their base price can barely compete with a tesla, but their options pricing is ridiculous.

There's LOTS of teslas where I live because it's the best bang for your buck right now as far as EV comes.

I dislike Musk as much as anyone else around here, but the companies he fronts have met lots of success, I guess because there are lots of very competent people actually running them (i.e. Gwynne Shotwell for SpaceX)
