What electric car was better than a Model X in 2015?
jdhdbdk@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Renault Zoe, Kia Soul, BMW i3 and the list goes on. It just depends on what people expected of their cars.

None of those had close to the range of the Model X in 2015. Having less than 200mi range makes things difficult. Though with proper charging infrastructure, having more than 400mi isn’t really necessary, and is almost silly.

I suppose that‘s quite location dependent. In Europe those cars sold really well, better than the Tesla’s in 2015. Maybe that‘s because the distances are shorter and there always was more non Tesla charging infrastructure!?
