In my opinion, it's easy to feel that way when you are used to gas cars. You are already comfortable with the downsides of gas cars and less comfortable with the downsides of the tesla. It would be easier if the tesla were strictly better than comparably priced gas cars, but it certainly isn't.

However, if you already had a tesla and the competitors were offering you better interior materials and longer range as long as you were ok stopping at a gas station every week or two and having service appointments at a dealer at least once a year (or more depending on model) and losing a lot of the satisfying low end torque you might not think it was a great deal. Oh and you have to stop getting software updates also! Your phone will continue to be better than your car's computer in every way and the car won't even try to mitigate that problem.

Anyway, I think the idea that some competing car is MUCH nicer is mostly about your prior assumptions or at best what particular aspects of vehicles you care most about.
