That doesn’t explain why Telsa leads all brands, including brands with similar price points.

A buddy of mine got an EV but had the cash and tested like 30. Kia, Hyundai, ToyotaHonda, BMW, Mercedes, Audi - everything! - and Tesla. Took him 3 months almost.

In his words: there are three main classes of EV: the consumer range from Kia to Honda, the sport range from Audi to BMW, ... And Tesla.

Tesla has all these problems like Musk, and a boring UI and all, but its assistance is still head, shoulders and belt ahead of anything else on the planet. The BeeMercAudis are neat, but, still ... no. Not even close.

And he was a Tesla hater! Hates their boring same-ness and ipaddery shit UI and lack of knobs, etc.

His arrives in May.

Based on a single article using junk science.

Another user right above you posted a different article and it doesn't even list a single Tesla in the top 10.
