Tesla sells the most EVs, but if you don’t think it sells the best EVs, here are some alternative models that you could choose instead.

Tesla doesn’t have as big a lead over its competitors as it once did. Although its EVs are still among the best, competing automakers have caught up and have even surpassed Tesla in some areas.

I'd like an EV that has physical buttons for things I need when driving instead of a bullshit touchscreen. I'd like it to not record everything I do in the vehicle nor send that to the manufacturer.

Same for ICE cars, by the way, the shittening is happening to everything.

I'd like an EV that's actually affordable, not "affordable". The number does not start with a 4. Not with a 3 either.

Yeah, it’s an issue with pretty much all modern cars and especially EVs. Everything is connected to a computer (even things like a front lights), the car has billions of useless systems and large screens that just distract you.

Just make a simple car like which is easy to maintain, lasts longer and does not have useless shenanigans. I will pay more.
