Is the battery tech that good though? Genuinely don’t know.

Seems other manufacturers have a huge head start in every other area of manufacturing cars and even if they still lag behind on battery tech, it won’t be long before they catch up on this one metric, whereas Tesla would have to catch up on every other metric.

It was 5 years ago. Other companies are catching up.

One place they aren't catching up is non-SUV EVs. There are a few, but if you want an EV that isn't an SUV with over 250mi range, and cross Tesla off the list, your options become real thin.

Options were really thin to begin with. Muricans love their huge ugly boxes. The options are getting much better now. With a quick search I found ten sedans shapeable in the states and crossing off Tesla removed three.

But a lot of those sedans have range around 120mi, like the Mini EV or BMW i3. Many of the one's that remain are luxury brands with luxury prices, like the BMW i7 or Porsche Taycan.

I specifically did a search for EVs with over 250 mile range, because that was your qualifier.

I'm sure there are more than 10 sedan models available in the united states, did you look at Mercedes and bmw? They should have a few models.

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

Kia, Hyundai, BMW, Porsche, Volvo, Mercedes, VW, Polestar, to name a few.

And you don't consider tesla a luxury brand with luxury prices?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 5 months ago

Compared to Porsche, or BMWs over an i3 size? No.
