Go ahead and find the EVs that aren't Tesla that beat the 2012 Model S's 265 miles of range and are on the market right now. They don't exist.
The 2020 Porsche Taycan (300 miles), 2020 Mercedes EQC (293 miles), 2019 Audi E-Tron (204 miles), 2019 VW e-Golf (125 miles), 2019 BMW i3 (126 miles) still don't beat my 2018 Model 3 LR AWD (325 miles). On the most recent TSLA Investor's call, Musk said that Tesla isn't far from 400 mile batteries. Additionally, they just bought Maxwell Technologies known for their work on ultracapacitors to improve lithium ion battery efficiency. More electric vehicles also forces more policy makers to think seriously about EV charging infrastructure and helps sway public opinion. More EVs on the road is a net win for Tesla.
