>All this demand could be met by other car manufacturers if they too produced long range EVs of similar or better quality than combustion engine cars. But no-one does and no-one will for an other year. Don't say Nissan Leaf; it's not long range
For comparison, the Renault Zoe and Chevrolet Bolt EV have a higher range than the standard Model 3. Both of them have also sold more than the Model 3 so far and have a lower price. These cars are in a different class than the Model 3, but it seems that traditional manufacturers won't have any trouble producing long range electric cars.
- flexie 8y agoThe standard model 3 that you refer to, which has a range of 350 km can barely be considered a long range EV, and it is actually not being produced yet. Tesla has only produced the more expensive version with a 510 km range. Renault Zoe has a range of 240 km Chevrolet Bolt has a range of 380 km. So none of them compares to the Model 3 actually produced.
- nawitus 8y agoRenault Zoe has a 400 km range model for €23,600 (in France). They compare to Model 3 in some aspects and not in others. I can of course claim that Tesla doesn't have any experience in producing affordable electric cars.
- mikestew 8y agoSo none of them compares to the Model 3 actually produced. Of course they don't, 'cause the Model 3s actually produced are friggin' expensive. That screeching sound y'all hear right now? That's the goal posts being dragged another 10 yards back.
- jsight 8y agoHe's not the one moving the goalposts. He said nothing about price. :)
- jsight 8y agoThe model 3 is currently being produced in larger numbers than the Bolt.
