Is Tesla still the only fully electric manufacture worth buying? If it is, all this legislation and subsidization are creating a monopoly. Also I'd rather not have a vehicle that can be software locked, so I'll continue to buy old used cars until I can just get a fully electric car that isn't connected to the internet.

It's really changing this year and Tesla is losing market share to the competition (though the market itself is growing). The competition has finally stepped up.

Buyers are opting for other excellent cars like the Kia EV6, the VW ID.3/ID.4/ID.5, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Mercedes-Benz EQC, the Polestar 2 and the BMW iX. The number of excellent options is rapidly multiplying, which is good for everyone.

Which is great. Some really nice ones coming out. I might be up for giving up my Volt in 15 years lol.

I refuse to even consider a Tesla for a host of reasons but I'm keeping an eye on the other options.
