Got Our Model Y Tonight!
i agree price and charging network (and easy purchase process) are the most compelling reasons to buy. more so than 'tech' (besides the excellent drivetrain) imo (and i'm a hard core techie).
but i still think the tesla interior is far and away the least attractive, well actually most are bad, the mach-e is horrible, the id.4 is super cheap too. i like the ev6/ioniq5 interior and on cars like the bmws (i4 and ix?) (and the mercedes ones). obviously bmw/mercedes are actual luxury cars. tesla has rightly gone for the mass market.

The EQS, BMW i4, Jaguar I-Pace/F-Pace and E-Tron are more luxurious and offer better rides with air suspension, but they are still way behind Tesla, Mercedes and BMW software though looks really cool, both are more complicated than they need to be. And as far as battey packs, they are several generations behind Tesla. The only advantage Mercedes and Audi have is their 800v architecture, but talking to owners, they never get near the advertised charging speeds

as far as not getting the charging speeds, that could well have to do with electrify america etc. issues.
and it seems many of those non-tesla models meet or exceed their epa estimates in real world use, unlike tesla.
tesla seats are comfortable, sure, and comparing to camry/avalon/rav4 etc makes sense because tesla's gone right after those mainstream vehicles. the model 2 will no doubt aim to eat the corolla/corolla cross market next.
how do you know they're "several generations behind Tesla"?
