The Best Tesla Alternatives In 2024 (insideevs.com)

Tesla sells the most EVs, but if you don’t think it sells the best EVs, here are some alternative models that you could choose instead.

Tesla doesn’t have as big a lead over its competitors as it once did. Although its EVs are still among the best, competing automakers have caught up and have even surpassed Tesla in some areas.

It's not very useful when there are dozens of articles that have the same exact info written by people who do not prefer Tesla. This is one of the most poorly written versions of this type of article I've seen - I'm not even convinced the listed author was actually the author.

I'm not sure why you're defending an article that is as ill-conceived as this, to be honest. It's a markdown nightmare, has copy+pasted "specs" that don't seem to have any verification, backing, or personal experience (which, unlike snacks, actually matters with EVs) and is written from a place where it seems like they aren't even sure why you'd consider something not Tesla (because they prefer them).

I'm defending it because I found it useful. A search of EVs generally brings up videos (no thanks), reddit/forum threads (no thanks), articles that focus only on a couple vehicles, or articles that focus only on one factor like range.

I'm not sure why one would only read articles written by people who don't like Tesla.
