My personal advice is to wait until 2025. Many other automakers will be releasing models with NACS support, which will immediately make them much more usable in real life.

Tesla also outcompetes other cars on the price/range ratio, so it's the best choice if you want a car for road trips and if you're price-sensitive.

I'm going to lease Lucid Air once they release NACS-based versions.

I don't own a Tesla but this brand is so volatile when it comes to internet forums, I wouldn't let it sway you.

Talk to a person IRL that doesn't sit on social media and ask how they like it.

This is like going to the Dell laptop support forums and concluding that 100% of Dells are bad.

Because Musk is an idiot it's fashionable to hate on Tesla. But there are plenty of us out there who have had an amazing experience. We had one minor issue in 4 years and it was fixed extremely promptly. The car is amazing.

I drive a f150 lightning, and honestly there is no competition. The Tesla is still a much better vehicle.
