Seems to have already happened? Mercedes EQS/EQB, BMW i4/i7/iX, Polestar, Ioniq
All seem better than the comparable Tesla vehicles.
Though Tesla does have better features for sitting at chargers, and obviously the super charger network which is a huge thing for anyone taking longer trips.
- novok 4y agoI did a test drive of a bunch of EVs, and Hyundai makes the Ioniq which I was referencing. I found that the ford mustang EV and Ioniq had about a %20 worse driving experience than a several year old tesla model 3 LR, and tesla did have a bunch of things that were better. But that also came from being years ahead in making EVs and having a more refined product and driving experience as a result. Driving all the v1 EVs made me realize that they were close, and in a few years they'll probably catch up to tesla on the driving experience. Will they be able to make nice software like tesla will? I'm not so sure. Mercedes and BMW sell their EVs even more expensive than tesla in many ways too, so their price category is different. Also cars after a certain point are way more commodity, they wont be able to differentiate like apple does with their products nearly as much. And that supercharger network advantage will go way in 5 to 10 years too.
