Tesla is highly overrated, in my opinion. While they should be commended for being a pioneer, other brands have already eclipsed them. Personally, I vastly prefer the VW ID.3 (and the slightly larger ID.4). It doesn't have the sleek looks, of course, but in terms of feel, comfort, features, and so on, it's a much nicer car. It's probably a better car than a Tesla for most people. The U.S. market is struggling to offer enough lower-budget electric cars. Not every car needs to be a sleek $80k Tesla. In Europe, electric cars have now become normalized thanks to models covering the entire range of affordability. Plenty of "normal working people budget" cars — Renault Zoe, Opel Corsa-e, Skoda Enyaq, and so on, all great cars. The U.S. has the Bolt, Leaf, Niro, and then the cars quickly become expensive after that. (The Niro is a terrific car, though!)
