I'm enjoying this. Also Musk went out and said that he wants barriers on trade or else the Chinese companies will dominate the market.

I thought Musk would be happy, because he truly wants to save the planet doesn't he? It shouldn't matter if he or someone else makes the best electric cars then?

First, the only range that I consider is the one that is brought by standardised tests, such as WLTP and EPA standards. While they may not be realistic (WLTP in particular is terrible) but at least they give a consistent frame of comparison.

Now, if there are better alternatives, do present me with some! The only remotely interesting one i can think about is the ioniq 5, but hyundai in my country has their head up their butt, and you can't see prices on their website. From external reviews, the 5 is competitive with the long range Model 3 from tesla. However, on the lower end, the only real alternatives I am aware of are from Volkswagen, which A are more expensive with a lower WLTP range estimate, B are smaller and in my opinion look kinda boring, and C probably have a way worse infotainement system (although I'm curious if Volkswagen has managed to fix it, I've heard mixed things about their latest models).
