“Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent, do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?” [Apartheid Manchild] told audiences at an event in November.

Well, for starters I don’t want a car at all. I’d rather use public transit. You know, an actually effective means of reducing emissions.

If I were in the market, yes, I would want the best car. Which is why I’d never buy a Tesla. I’d buy an XPeng or a BYD or the like.

    True, I was in the market for the last 6weeks. Tesla is well priced and equipped, but Musk is so awful they weren’t a consideration.

        For me, a Tesla Model Y got the full US rebate and MA state rebate and I bought it after a significant price drop. My cost was very competitive, and the vehicle is still more advanced than most legacy manufacturers models

        Compared to other electric cars that were on my list. The model Y compares fine to the Blazer EV, the Cadillac Lyriq, the EV 9 and similar.

          Fair enough… I suppose you really don’t get a plethora of affordable options in the E-car world yet.
