It seems like there is still no mass market EV at a mid level price range (25-40K) USD that is able to compete with Tesla Model 3. As much as I am sceptical of Tesla's market cap, these setbacks by GM and Toyota prove that Tesla indeed has a 10 year technological advantage compared to other car manufacturers.

Not sure what metrics you want to compare on, but what about VW ID.3 and 4 or the Hyundia E-Ioniq? On the high end .lMercedes and Audi have options as well.

Chevy Bolt - battery recall

Hyundai Kona and Ionic EVs - battery recall, can't get parts https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/25/tech/hyundai-ev-recall/index....

VW Id3 and Id4 - massive software issues https://insideevs.com/news/389129/volkswagen-id3-massive-sof...

Either Tesla is actually good at this or all the other car manufacturers are incompetent.

edit: Jaguar FPace had a bunch of issues too.

Basically BMW and Audi have EVs that launched OK but they can't afford to build them at scale

Nissan Leaf is still going fine

Really sucks this is happening because it gives EVs a bad reputation

Disclaimer: i own a Leaf and a 3

Tesla has its own fair share of problems. Including major recalls.

Even the non-recall stuff, Tesla has Major issues.

Jaguar F-Pace is a fossil fuel car. The electric version is the I-Pace.

I don't know why but I always confuse those models
