... the best choice by far is still Tesla.
Tesla was the only choice until a few years ago.
The best competitor is Hyundai which is a shitty buy
because it doesn’t have a tax credit.<<
ever heard of the IRA hoophole?
I think it’s also worth pointing out that EVs are exploding in China because those buyers don’t have to worry about long distance driving.
It's not that Chinese don't drive long-distance b/c of the HSR, which btw is $1T under water at this point. It's just that their EV programs/subsidies so far favored cheap, low-range, urban EVs -- such as #1 seller, Hongguang Mini EVs with just ~10kWh batteries -- having promoted cheap, inferior LFP under their state industrial policy. China's next challenge is to push EVs in rural area and it won't be nearly as easy.
