It’s a good proxy for care taken and fs given during production.

Plenty of cars for you then. Only pity you pay 2x price for 1/2 features. But at least it looks good!

What features are Teslas missing out on?

Notably v2l, 360 cameras and bullet proof auto-wipers.

Rest of industry missing everything else that Tesla's had a for a decade.

That’s IMO cope from Tesla fans. I’d take a KIA/Hyundai or Audi anytime over a Tesla.

Might be in your market.

Audi costs easily 2x for abysmal specs and reliability. Kia/Hyundai is better deal, but they are such bare cars it's almost like driving 90s Toyota. Spec them out to base Tesla (i.e. power seats, power liftgate, heated steering wheel, etc) and price is 1.5x higher.

if you drove them you would say otherwise. I have Tesla S and Audi eTron, price comparable ($90k) while the difference is like between a Harley and Vespa.

and I am the least Tesla “fan” on the planet and think Elon is the saddest person that ever lived on this planet
