No antagonism. The comment claimed that they have bought an equivalent vechicle, I am wondering what that vechicle is, because to my knowledge there aren't really any good competitors to Tesla, if you consider the combination of the quality (-ish, it's decent), software, battery tech, driving performance and price.

I didn’t claim I bought an equivalent vehicle. I bought a vehicle which just “works”. And I avoided all the Tesla build quality issues.

I have a gas car / hybrid for the 100mile+ road trips we take once every 60 days.

And I have an EV for the daily driver. Nissan Leaf has more than enough range (for daily driving) cost 6-7k, insurance is $20/month, and I’ve yet to have any maintenance issues.
