I see a few Teslas in town, and I always wonder about this. There was a time when Tesla was a viable option, but now there are so many better EVs on the market, more affordable, and that doesn’t come with the baggage of crazy that Tesla does. Plus, buying one now with the strikes that are going on is just unethical.

I haven’t seen an AWD EV more affordable than the M3 yet, and the last I checked the nearest supercharging station is only for Teslas.
For me NOT buying from a scummy car dealership is also part of my criteria.
So it looks like it’s basically a choice between Tesla and Rivian for me and there’s a big price difference.
Would be interested to check out some other options though.

I think it’s funny that every time someone claims there are better and more affordable EVs on the market someone who actually knows what they’re talking about comments about how a Tesla is still the only car that meets their criteria. Like, yes, there are actually a fair number of viable EVs out there, but it still depends on your needs and priorities.
I’ve been looking at a used eGolf. It’s got completely shit range, but I don’t consider that enough of a problem for me compared to the other things I like about it.
