Ah right. Kia is also more reputable though.

Tesla doesn't really offer anything to the EV market that other more established makers don't. Except for poor build quality, panel gaps, and a memelord of a CEO.

In fairness, I am also jealous of their Supercharger network, having had some bad experiences on the very few occasions when I've needed a DC fast charge and it seemed like nothing around was working. I hope that it gets upgraded to support CCS in at least some locations so I can start being able to use them.

The superchargers are also stupid, but more so in a regulatory sense. If EVs are to be viable they ought have standardised connectors and methods of charging. Having a private company own that is beyond idiotic.
