You missed the "I want a get from A to B SUV, without Tesla" - which is squarely me. The type of shit in the article, right to repair, and general Elon bullshit has me very uninterested in Tesla. > -a new EV buyer? Too expensive and "bland". Does all EV things "middle". It is actually SUV-sized (unlike the likes of the Kona, which you may be comparing it to - it is only shaped like an SUV). It can be cheaper than the Model Y, depending on the sku - and those two are the only budget EV SUVs that I am aware of (the E-Tron and iX are significantly more expensive). Bland? Who cares. There are people who only care about the utility that a vehicle has to offer. It is servicing an area of the market that only has one other deeply incompetent (as-per the article) competitor.
