Tesla sells the most EVs, but if you don’t think it sells the best EVs, here are some alternative models that you could choose instead.

Tesla doesn’t have as big a lead over its competitors as it once did. Although its EVs are still among the best, competing automakers have caught up and have even surpassed Tesla in some areas.

The fact that this article claims to be for listing alternatives to teslas, praises Tesla in its opening paragraph, leads with a Tesla, and lists multiple teslas in it tells me this is not an article written in good faith.

Each Tesla model is followed by the alternatives for that model, eg Cybertruck: F-150, R1T, Silverado...

Sure, but it is not formatted in a way that makes it clear, and it still talks about how much better each Tesla model is compared to the competitors.

It offers both pros and cons of non-Tesla EVs, for example

The Model S you can buy today is a heavily updated version of the car launched back in 2012, which means it doesn’t look quite as sharp and futuristic as some of its rivals, which are quicker and offer superior range.

It lists the Teslas because it aims to provide alternatives for each Tesla model though.
