- shiftpgdn 4y agoFor US buyers half of your list are VW/Audi/Porsche products which have the same underlying software issues. I will admit the Taycan is the best driving car, EV or otherwise I have ever driven. The Ford Products are promising but have been majorly hamstrung by dealers asking for astronimal markups. I had a Polestar as a rental car and it was great, and the BMW and Mercedes EVs are wonderful too. BUT they're all stuck with a very unreliable charging network and dealers are awful middlemen for now.
