    It is a reality that Teslas were the best affordable EV you could get for a long time.

    Now that the IONIQ is below it in price, maybe we can be a bit judgier for new vehicle purchases… but even still, that is remarkably few affordable EVs available to the typical consumer and there still are some reasonable reasons to pick a Tesla. Unfortunately, that is mostly their charger network, which is the lightning cable of chargers trying to pretend that a totally superior ISO charger isn’t better for consumers in every way.
