Tesla is the only one I'll buy until any car can use the tesla charger network, others simply aren't very well kept up.

If access to the supercharger network is the only factor for you, then it may be good choice. When quality or safety are also factors, then the choice is not obvious. How much will Tesla charge you for repairs over the lifetime of the vehicle. How bigger is the chance that you kill or injure your family due to quality issues. Please have a look at the Reuters Investigation below for context. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-mu...
Many cars can use the Tesla network now, and you are probably biased to your geographical area. In Stockholm (Sweden) for example the Tesla chargers are located far away from the city center, while there are many third party chargers available anywhere.
In the US, this isn't the case yet. Other makes won't get access to all V3+ superchargers until later this year.

Supposedly, Ford will get it next month.
