> Why get an EV if a newer one that's better in almost every way (range, cost, etc) is constantly just around the corner. It's just the nature of the beast when you're looking at a rapidly developing technology. Think of it like buying a cell phone in 2008. Buy it when it makes sense for you as it exists, and accept that anything you buy today is going to seem like old news in a few years. That said, the real developments as I see it have been in battery tech and fast charging. Unless you really care about the infotainment system or nonsense claims of the vehicle driving itself I can't say that I consider really any 250+ mile fast charge capable EV to be "obsolete". A first-gen Model S is still a solid EV almost a decade later.
