The most recent examples seems to have improved quality (i think certain cars too...mainly Model 3 I believe). Still not amazing but better than it started off as.
Tesla is still the #1 choice because yea, its got the Apple-like cult following and the charging network making road trips a nonissue. You read about the nightmares of the non-Tesla charging networks and its enough to just say hell no to a non-tesla.
But is going that route worth dealing with the Elon factor (which to be fair isnt going to be a deciding factor to many people), the fact you are paying luxury car prices for what amounts to be something built like a 90's GM car, and the fact you pretty much defer nearly everything driving related to the computer....
I wouldnt get one, cuz i still want to DRIVE the thing. I'd like quirky EV's (like VW id.Buzz...although the buzz on that has died down since it looks like a regular van now) or a Honda e, and i think BMW is doing pretty good with their EV's....although they're styling direction (fugly grilles aside) seems to be trending the way MB is....making your premium offerings look cheap as hell for some reason.
Provide me with an EV where i can basically just swap out the ICE and have the exact same "get in and drive, and not think about anything unless i need to" and I'd be on board. Id prefer to not to adjust my habits because of "fuck you that's why".
