Buying non Tesla EVs doesn’t make any practical sense.




Why?

You'll most likely be overpaying for overall package, not get the advanced software and will be forced to pay insane yearly service fee.

Then there's whole long term thing - very little spare parts availability cuz most EVs are niche models, some already ceased to exist, service tools not available or insanely overpriced.

Some like Kia/Hyundai are notoriously unreliable to begin with.


BYD?

Hyundai unreliable?


Hyundai, reliable?

Rankings: Hyundai is often highly ranked by automotive experts. For example, RepairPal ranks Hyundai 4th out of 32 car brands for reliability. J.D. Power studies also consistently place Hyundai among the top brands for initial quality and long-term dependability.
