What there are other electric cars that are not Tesla and and some of them are actually better than Tesla and yeah but I don’t blame you for asking such silly questions because let’s face it

Tesla has been the face of electric cars for over a decade now and has been the best in features and specs for many many years however things have changed and other existing and new car makers have caught up, did you know that there are now over 100 electric car models out there and yes some of them are better than Tesla but before all of you Tesla fans jump out of your seats and into my comment section since we are using such a vague word as better at what and for whom and for what well

let’s break things down by the most

I will let you know which EV models are indeed better than Tesla which is a high bar to clear so let’s start with the most obvious category that most people are worried about when they think about

All-electric sedan has an EPA rating of 516 miles over 100 miles more than the Tesla Model S a quick honorable mention here and I don’t really like talking about EVS that don’t really exist yet but the upcoming all electric Chevy Silverado EV is in production now as I’m making this Blog and has an EPA estimated range of 450 miles.

Now let’s talk about what electric cars have introduced to the market that gas cars have never had which is self-driving.

Tesla has pretty much pioneered it with the autopilot but could not keep up with the promises that Elon Musk has made year after year about its full self-driving package now even though I do believe that the full self-driving package that Tesla sells for fifteen thousand dollars despite being in beta is a borderline scam in terms of advanced technology assessment it’s pretty much the best the consumer report.

However disagrees with me placing Tesla way down the list but you can tell they were most likely drunk when they were coming up with the criteria for this list as they have the GM in Ford at the top of the list here’s GM’s

supercruise trying to Ram me into the center divider and other cars.

The only brand that can claim that their self-driving technology is better than Tesla’s is technically the Mercedes-Benz it is the first automaker to release its level 3 self-driving feature and do what essentially makes this a real self-driving product which is accepting legal responsibility that’s right once a driver turns on the Mercedes-Benz Drive pilot system they are no longer legally liable for the car’s operation until it disengages.

However there should be a huge asterisk oh here it is okay I’ll I’ll move uh here next to the statement this only works in Germany and Nevada with California next and only at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour and only on select highways the next category is the one by which a lot of people judge electric cars and I’ll tell you what it is in just a second.

So let’s talk about charging it is the biggest pain point when it comes to owning an electric car no electric car can charge its battery as fast as you can gas your gas car for now so the speed at which your EV charges is important especially when you’re traveling which requires not just regular charging but the fast charging much like with everything else Tesla has been the best at charging.

As well until recently the sister Brands Kia and Hyundai have surprisingly taken a lead there with most of their recent models like the Hyundai ioniq 5 and 6 as well as Kia ev6 and its luxury Brands Genesis GB 60 all charging at the max rates of 350 kilowatts filling up their batteries from 10 to 80 percent in just 18 minutes.

Now the EV that we’ve talked about earlier the Lucid air can charge from 20 to 80 percent in just 15 minutes now the easiest way to beat Tesla is the price because Teslas ain’t cheap and there are now plenty of a relatively affordable EVS that are cheaper than any Tesla.

So let’s talk about the best 3 the all-new and refreshed Chevy bolt EV no longer looking like it was made as a compliance car is priced at around 27 and a half thousand dollars which drops under twenty thousand dollars with a tax credit and it Sports a pretty decent range of 259 EPA rated miles.

Let’s move on to also a refreshed second gen Nissan Leaf with a 149 mile EPA range priced at just under thirty thousand dollars but not eligible for the tax credit and the OG from Hyundai the Kona EV with 258 mile EPA rated range at around 35000 but also no tax credit here either there are a few other EVS that are quite affordable.

But these three I’d say is the best bang for your buck and now let’s talk about the tech.

Now I know what you’re saying now Tesla is a tech company how can anybody beat them at Tech well you will be surprised.

So let’s talk about just a few augmented reality head-up display now.

Tesla doesn’t even have a regular plane head up display in most cars they sell but Brands like Augie Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz have amazing ones where arrows are literally drawn on the road in front of you in 3D for guidance Chinese maker Neo has the best personal in-car assistant which is an actual on-dash doll head named Nomi that takes many more commands than Tesla and many other cars bi-directional charging.

No that’s not when electric cars experiment in college that is actually to power up a work site or a campsite or your actual house during a blackout and this stack is the best implemented in the all-electric Ford.

Now for 150 lightning 0 to 60 acceleration is literally Beyond plaid with a few exotic Brands beating Tesla Model as Flats time of 1.99 seconds with the Remake Navarra doing 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds the Lucid air sapphire in 1.89 seconds and dependent Farina Batista in insane 1.79 seconds I feel nauseous.
