It is a bad time to be an EV-only manufacturer with mass-market ambitions right now.
Consumers on average are more interested in buying hybrids from the big boys instead of pure EVs and the promised mass market cheap EV game changer is now even more removed from reality with the loss of the tax credits.
If any of these folks bought a Tesla before 2024 they might now be somewhat conflicted about what to do about it.
But the fact remains that as far as EVs go, Tesla has the best charger network and the best cars with the longest track record, so other than the Elon/Trump stuff they probably are the best choice.
That's really debatable. It's more of a meme. If you actually check a few different brands, Tesla is not that great. I know I've got preferences against it for purely technical reasons as well.
> with the longest track record
It's long enough that you can read all about various long term issues like servicing all over the internet now.
Indisputably true, for sure.
But they drained that moat by allowing other cars to use NACS and join the Supercharger network.
