    I can understand why your next one will be electric as pretty much all the benefits you describe are benefits of an EV not a Tesla.

    I drive an old beater of a leaf and have the same list

      Benefits of specifically Tesla is that they’re dirt cheap comparatively, especially if you actually want a car and not some giant honking SUV or pickup truck. You can get a car with a 360+ mile range (3rd parties tested and got slightly more) for ~$35k after federal rebate. No one can compete with that and it’s not even close.

        It’s one of the most expensive in Canada. 60K for a RWD base Model 3. You can get an AWD Ioniq for that, and should, since Hyundai can actually build a car.

          That’s crazy, I wonder why that is?

          Does the Hyundai have 350+ miles of range at that price?

          Also I did say I was specifically speaking about cars, not SUVs.

            Range on both is over 500km. They’re pretty much the only EVs that have that much range. But the fit and finish on the Ioniq makes it a luxury car by comparison. And they don’t have that Musky smell about them.
