I think their powertrains aren't bad either.Its been confirmed that tech means infotainment screen.
When you go to a Tesla showroom, everyone is playing with the infotainment screen, not much else. When I'm in a Tesla, all i did was play with the screen. The subsequent Test drive is a 0-60 launch.
Everyone wants something different out of a car. For me, the screen is very low on the list and I have a software company. For others it means a lot more.
For me personally, I look at cars differently. I know it cost more to build a car properly and cheaper to make high resolution graphics. The last time I sat in a Model 3, I immediately walked out just from the seats.
Engineering gets me excited, gimmicks and graphics don't.
They have very competitive performance (acceleration and repeatability) and efficiency (meaning good range and fast charging). The Plaid time on the Nurburgring IMHO showed that it's not just about 0-60.
Their safety systems are standard (something more manufacturers should follow IMHO) and good.
They have better EURO NCAP scores than Porsche, for example.
Their mobile service approach is IMHO the future. (yes, they are still learning and scaling, but TBH my local Porsche dealer is also fucking up that part of the equation, as they have 1+month wait times in the shop there too)
I am NOT saying that it rides better than a Taycan, or that I would pick it instead.
I am saying it's not just "the screen" and Netflix.
