- baskire 6y agoThese issues were a major reason for me getting a non Tesla EV. Cheaper and it just “works”.
- Erlich_Bachman 6y agoAnd it has a battery that doesn't give you range anxiety? And you can charge it with 100kW+ on a supercharger? And it has the autopilot that can drive without interaction for hundreds of miles? And it will get software updates through wifi? All of those things just work?
- user_ 6y agoWhy the antagonism?
- Erlich_Bachman 6y agoNo antagonism. The comment claimed that they have bought an equivalent vechicle, I am wondering what that vechicle is, because to my knowledge there aren't really any good competitors to Tesla, if you consider the combination of the quality (-ish, it's decent), software, battery tech, driving performance and price.
- baskire 6y agoI didn’t claim I bought an equivalent vehicle. I bought a vehicle which just “works”. And I avoided all the Tesla build quality issues. I have a gas car / hybrid for the 100mile+ road trips we take once every 60 days. And I have an EV for the daily driver. Nissan Leaf has more than enough range (for daily driving) cost 6-7k, insurance is $20/month, and I’ve yet to have any maintenance issues.
- dvdbloc 6y agoOr, ya know, a base Corolla. Those doors line up quite well
- solarkraft 6y agoThere's an electric Corolla?
- Erlich_Bachman 6y agoPrime is not even fully electric?
- timbit42 6y agoCorrect. It's a plug-in hybrid. The 'Prime' name comes from the Prius Prime, which is a plug-in hybrid, The non-Prime Prius is a non-plug-in hybrid.
