"I think it continues to be under-appreciated how much of a lead Tesla still has in EVs".

As long as you don't compare them to BYD etc.

as long as you don’t compare them to any car. teslas in 2025 belong in a museum lol

I own tesla s 2014, my neighbour has 2025, same car. tesla x was cool… in 2017. tesla 3 is like a worse looking kia and model y is like if you took tesla 3 and pumped some air in it.

    If all you care about is looks, that is. Get out of any other car and you forget you can't just walk away from it and it'll shut itself off and lock the doors. I've had my Tesla driving friends drive my ICE car, and then not even turn off the engine when they go into the store because you don't need to do that with a Tesla.

      A lot of cars have that. My (gulp) BMW EV for instance. Newer BMW ICE cars too.

      But sure, some brands have had problems getting it to work for some dumb reason, recently, even the keyless entry part, which really has been a solved problem since at least the 2010s.

      When my buddy got his first Tesla back in 2018 he had a ICE rental for some reason and he left it running in the driveway all day once on accident.

      wrote myself a reminder I need to make sure to spend $90k on the car when I become senile to forget to turn it off

    2025 S is the same as your 2014 S? That’s some hilarious cope. Stop lying. You know it’s completely different. Yes, a model S is still a model S. And the F150 is still a pickup truck. Surprise!
