And yet none of these many examples are really compelling compared to a Tesla (wrt. range and performance). Quality > Quantity.

I'm actually glad they are trying, but they need to try harder.



The Tesla Model 3 has 409km range WLTP for the Standard Range Plus model and 560km for the Long Range model. The ID.3 will have three battery sizes for 330km, 420km, and 550km WLTP at lower price points. The range argument isn't really there.

It's disappointing they're not even trying with the current Model S. The Plaid drive train is still a year away. Porsche is a year ahead on performance at this point.


Car you cant buy yet is a year ahead on performance over another car you cant buy?


You can buy the Taycan now. They started production a month ago:

But you're going to be in a queue behind the 20,000 or so preorders.
