As someone who has owned a total of 4 different EVs I hate to admit that Tesla is better overall. I dont put much stock in those reliability ratings. EVs are pretty damn reliable with a long long warranty on the batteries. The Tesla ecosystem is more advance plain and simple. I still wouldnt give up my Chevy EV for one.

if you are intelligent and buy a Tesla, it's absolutely for political reasons. They are not great cars. I've driven 3 for fleet vehicles and while the computer is really good, the car is far from it. Do a bit of basic research so you can at least know you are doing it for political reasons.
 
On the plus side, at least Teslas have that self driving feature for when the ram man goes on one of his alcohol benders.

That's the feedback I've been receiving from Tesla owners. I too think the ecosystem is a major plus. Apparently, Tesla maps out for you the recharging plan at its recharging stations for road trips.

I can do the same on my Kia EV6 using the plug share app.

I can do that with Google Maps or MyChevy app. I'm speaking mainly of software integration/interactivity, support and charging infrastructure. My Chevy rides ten times better than a Y and looks tens times better imho. I don't see many car manufacturers sans Tesla putting a ton of money into their EVs...that's concerning.

Saw gas for $4.01 for the first time in Charlotte today. Diesel at the same station was $5.92.

My son worked at Hyundai R&D last year and says that Hyundai is by far the best EV tech in the country. Based on what I've read, I agree.

Tesla doesn't even want to be a car company any more. Why would you buy a car from a company that wants to become a robotaxi and human-robot company?

As someone who owned two Hyundai EV's back in 21-23 I can honestly say you are 100% incorrect. Maybe you mean currently the best if you do then my apologies. It's a budding technology that's changing yearly.

My son was reporting the state of play in 2025. He doesn't know about 2021. He's only a college sophomore
