Name one.

At this point, just about every luxury brand of Ev is equal or better than Teslas. The European makes have very good technology inside,and when it comes to battery-range and drive quality, they are equal of better than Teslas.

Tesla has the name recognition, because it was 'first' to market with a somewhat believable EV and EV quality and good tech. But, there are plenty of very good alternatives on the market now, and many of them are about the same price and even lower-priced.

I have Lexus SUV and when I take it to the dealer for maintenance, I'm tempted by their EV SUV version of my RX-350. Nice vehicle, but then, I realize that it's still an EV, so, no sale. They've come out with a hybrid, but then, why even bother since most of the driving will be with gasoline, so even that makes no sense. Go check out the Lexus EVs, which to me look nicer than Teslas and roomier and with very good tech inside, with prices that in some cases are lower than Teslas.

And, btw, Lexus/Toyota have been around a lot longer than Tesla, so support is more widespread and more readily available.

Nice try, but you can't name one. When it comes to EV technology, Tesla has proven to be superior. You may be thinking of luxury appointments, I'll give you that. But that has nothing to do with tech that Tesla improved on, like single-cast rear and front frames, heat/chill pumps, AI software, over-the-air updates, etc. There is a reason why Tesla is outselling all EV cars in Europe.
