I feel so conflicted when I read posts that consider Tesla "the best". I did benchmarking on all automotive interiors, exteriors, and infotainment systems, and Tesla was Kia level.
The interiors and exteriors were actually bad. The infotainment system was buggy and cheap, but it was feature rich and fast. If it wasn't Tesla, people would hate it for not having buttons.
The reliability is notoriously bad too.
I don't see any genuine argument for "Best", they might have the hardest, lowest paid workers, or the only car you can natively play a 30 year old video game, but when comparing Tesla to Nissan or GM EVs, I don't see why you'd get a Tesla.
It's more expensive and you get less.
- sokoloff 6y agoI daily drive (well, pre-COVID anyway) a Nissan LEAF. The interior on the LEAF (a $22K car to me) seemed at least as nice as the 3-5x as expensive Model S that colleagues own. However, if they were the same price, I'd much, much rather have the Tesla. Nissan's battery tech [and capacity] is way worse than Tesla's.
- andreilys 6y agoSignaling effect of owning a Tesla is much higher than a Nissan or GM EV.
- dingaling 6y ago>Tesla was Kia level Kia offer a seven-year warranty, even on the battery. And are joint first in the 2020 JD Powers survey. Tesla are nowhere near that level. Your benchmarking is flawed.
