Are people who bought Teslas, some probably for laudable climate ends, now disgusted to drive their car every day? Or are people still buying them and it’s not yet hit home where their dollars are going…or other? Are people selling them due to political reasons now?
I own two Teslas and am no fan of Musk. They are simply the best EV option (especially a few years ago when we got them) but that will shift significantly as brands onboard to NACS.
Next car we get will be in many years but if I had to pick now I’d look at a Rivian.
Same all counts. Waiting to see if someone offers an electric van, but can’t beat the supercharger network ATM (will see what NACS brings).
Elon is a dirt hat, but Tesla was the only reasonable choice for EV before 2020 and arguably still is. Literally nothing in my garage uses gas anymore.
I recently wrote a thing about this: https://blog.curtii.com/blog/posts/the-case-for-rivian/
Saaaame. We have an X and a 3, with like two months of payments left on the X and then we’re payment free until they die or are totaled. If something happened to the big one, I’d totally look at the Rivian. But I have no idea what I’d replace the 3 with. Maybe one of the Hyundais but I think they’re super ugly, especially the new one. So instead I’m hoping that they last long enough for there to be way more small model options out there.
Kia EV6s have intrigued me as an eventual Model 3 replacement.
I really hope good (FSD quality) lane keeping catches up on other brands.
I like the tech for the EV6, I’m a bit concerned with Hyundai/Kia paint, and the company’s response in washing their hands of it for people that have bought their cars in the past and its is coming off in sheets.
I just got my NACS adapter for my lyriq and I’m super excited. Except I went to test it at a Tesla charger near my house before a trip I’m taking next week and the Tesla charger cord was only like 3 ft long and would not reach my charging port unless I parked perpendicular to the charger. I hope that other ones have longer cords.
My main goal is to be able to charge at buckees lol also on one trip we ran out of power because we couldn’t find a charger.
Supercharger V4 have much longer cables, but it will be a while before they release widely.
