Serious competition is good!
I just replaced my Audi Q5 with a Tesla Model Y (which... wasn't $100k). No panel gaps, no other problems, and the overall quality feels nicer than the Audi. Shrug!
Anyway, yeah, the next few years look really exciting for consumer EVs. So many announcements in 2022.

The voice assistant button always routed to the audi voice thing (completely worthless I know what I want google to do, now connect me to google). The buttons felt over complicated. Although one feature I really liked was that it would tell me what the biggest consumers of power was. I would definitely like to have a car with a heated steering wheel in the winter here, but that isn't in the cards.
- ryantgtg 4y agoMine was a 2018 Q5. Had a central knob, which I thought was nice for navigating around the screen. But yeah, overall the software and system was pretty lousy. In fact, I was _never_ able to get it to connect to my carplay (or whatever I was supposed to do) to show a map. My wife had that working with her phone. But I couldn't do it! I also couldn't charge my phone and stream music at the same time. And obviously, the software - which already seemed behind the times in 2018 - was never updated in four years. I got in the habit memorizing entire routes from my phone before I drove. It's interesting now to have a car where the map is front and center. First thing I did with this Tesla is turn off the heated steering wheel for my driver profile. My hands sweat easily, so it was undesirable.
