@Melissabeartrix the build quality of Chinese brand EVs is excellent, and they are way cheaper
My household is 2 EVs, both built in the US, and the build quality is excellent on both.
A Tesla wasn't even on the list while I was looking, and there are a lot of other options out there.

There's not one answer that fits. What kind of driving do you do, and how often do you have passengers?
Hubs and I have a very short commute, for SoCal, we only charge once a week, on cars that have a 270 and 310 mile range.
And don't ignore used. We picked up a VW ID.4 for $18,000 below new price. It was only 6 months old and had less than 2,000 miles on it, and it's been a great car.
@Sablebadger @ScottSoCal @Melissabeartrix depends on where in the world you are located. In Australia there are no silly restrictions on Chinese car imports, so we have a lot of choice. I would start looking at BYD or MG.
@ScottSoCal @AndrewHS @Melissabeartrix what would you recommend to start looking at for a first electric vehicle?
