Cars and trucks suck but aren't there better EVs out there than Teslas?

Like didn't Ford make an F-150 Lightning electric truck? Don't Hyundai and Nissan make better electric cars?

Why ride in a known death trap?

In North America, only Teslas are viable if you're ever going to leave your city, because Teslas have the Tesla Supercharger network while other EVs have to deal with the hell that is Electrify America.

In other words: the Tesla Supercharger network is the killer feature of Teslas.

Note that this is changing as other auto manufacturers are adopting Tesla's formerly proprietary NACS (SAE J3400) charging standard, opening up the Tesla Supercharger network to non-Tesla EVs.
