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.

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
 
My husband has a Chevy euv and I’ve been very impressed with it. I’m usually a Honda/Toyota type but I would def recommend the Chevy!
