EV competition can't come fast enough. I love my Model S, but when the lease is up I am not buying another Tesla unless the board removes him, like, completely removes him. No stock, no continued royalties or pay out, I want him gone.
What a piece of shit waste of a human.
The same board (largely) that had to settle a suit because they overpaid themselves by close to a billion? With his brother? They’re not gonna do shit, unfortunately

Guess I'll get a Lucid Air Sapphire or something, I don't know. I really don't. I just don't want to go back to gas. I've driven over 25,000 miles for $500 of electricity and zero maintenance and it would be hard to go back :/
If the model S is in your price range, look into BMW's i4 or iX. They did what I've been wanting all car companies to do:
Take a current, great gas car and just stick a battery in it.
We love our i4. Fast as shit. And we came from a nice Model S.
2024/2025 should be a great time of competition for EVs! The biggest complaint is that there isn’t a good 15-30k option, most are 40-120k. If you can afford that though, plenty of non-Tesla options!
Are Polestar available in your country?
Ioniq 5 are great cars, and I believe still have charging incentives.
EV competition is here. There are tons of models now, and the Ioniq 5, for example, was rated much higher by many reviewers than Tesla models last year.
Where can I go to even look at EV options? Like, I'm personally aware that more EVs exist, but I have no idea where to even look at a simple list, which means I'm basically just remembering cars off the top of my head which were advertised to me.
Just hit up the major manufacturers websites. Almost every brand has several EVs now. They're not hard to find anymore.
Edmunds has a section of their site devoted to EVs:

And some lists of what they consider the best ones (this is obviously subjective:

its already here since years brah
man, my only options are an I-miev, a leaf, or something like a prius or insight, or some other higher MPG small used car. I would say it can't come fast enough, cause the secondhand market can't come fast enough, but I don't even know if that's gonna be the case. Somehow I can't picture a used tesla, or really most modern cars, for cheaper than like 20,000, or thereabouts.
