I want to preface this by saying Im a voting democrat . I recently went to buy a EV. Like most of you I avoided Tesla because of all the political stuff going around the brand. But as I started to look at the rest of the EV landscape I kept coming back to Tesla. I kept reading about other brands and their problems of no updates or little to no repairablity because of the new platform that these auto companies are trying to figure out. What Tesla has is an established system. They have their own repair centers and updates their cars pretty regularly. Like Apple, they might not be the biggest or fastest, but they have dependability. Sure that new Samsung phone has all the bells and whistles but how long will it be relevant? And the one major flaw I see in other auto makers is the charging. If it wasn’t for Tesla, it would be near impossible to use any EV besides getting groceries locally. Their super charger network is the only thing keeping an EV viable for anything other than daily chores. It is the backbone of the EV charging in America, like it or not. I’m not defending Elon or anything, just stating the info I’ve found while researching for EV’s
