Car buyers shun electric vehicles not named Tesla

• beamatronic 7y ago
  I’m sitting on the sidelines until there is a Toyota or Lexus SUV that I can drive in the carpool lane.

  Where I live -- 100 year old house, 1,500 square feet -- setting up a charger for one vehicle would require upgrading the house's entire electrical system.

    The electric company where I live is upgrading service to the pole everywhere in anticipation of this.

  Could it be because nobody trusts the legacy car manufacturers to deliver something solid for a product that heavily relies on electronics & software? Given the sad state of infotainment systems and the overall UX of non-Tesla cars I would not buy an electric car from such a manufacturer. The legacy manufacturers are trying to cram more software & screens in cars (and will need to for the electric ones) but don't follow the software development process; the software and UX still feels like an afterthought. Tesla on the other hand operates like a modern software company (sometimes too much and it "moves fast and breaks things" but everyone makes mistakes and overall it feels like they're going in the right direction).
