Yeah, Tesla has been really good at getting the whole package together with cars. The Model 3 is really the best EV on the market, IMO.

It isn't the fastest accelerating. It doesn't charge the fastest. It doesn't have the longest range. It isn't the cheapest.

But the balance of all four of those still manages to be better than basically anything else out there, though the Ioniq 6 is extremely close.

But it has the worst build quality, interior and controls. These are not numerically measurable but they certainly do matter to prospective buyers. As does even more subjective things like styling, which is now pretty dated.

Either way I suspect it now doesn't really matter because this is becoming the "Trump-mobile" which makes it a non starter for a lot of politically conscious peoples.

counterpoint; love the interior. all the widgets in other OEMs look hilarious by comparison. controls? the car literally drives me around town by itself
