> I can't think of an automaker with better software.

Xiaomi? Huawei? Avatar? Or do you mean only the ones available in the US?

I’m in a market where we can buy the Chinese cars.

Lots of hi-res graphics, modern looking interfaces and flashy animations do not good software make.

Function > form.

If they're not available, then I can't consider them an option?

I've obviously not tested every car out there. But for years Tesla has been the only car that came close to the convenience of a gas powered car. Their charging infrastructure really allowed it to be a normal car when you live in populated areas.

    Who knows where you live and what options you have? Who knows what you considered? Maybe that's why the question was asked?

    Charging infra have nothing to do with their cars besides maybe the US. They are barely leading in anything anymore, especially in countries with heavy EV competition, like China. When I was in China this year, I saw Teslas everywhere, but most of them were a few years old. Most of the new cars were Chinese EV brands, and they seemed better on most metrics in the same segment, which included quality. They're losing market share in the EU and worldwide.

Gotta be joking.

  • And you've gotta have some outdated knowledge.

    • Ah I actually watched this when it came out.

      Yes looks pretty capable but they don’t go into software itself much. Looking at video you can see it’s pretty laggy at times.

      Friends atto3 is somewhat capable but software quality just isn’t it. Other just got brand new sealion 7, hope I can test it soon, but some capability isn’t there either.
