    What is at the top of your list? I’m leaning towards the Ford Mach E with awd but have only looked deeply at half of what is available. Tesla is at the bottom of my list also

      Mach e is up there. Currently number one spot is the Hyundai ioniq 6, it looks like a direct competitor to the model 3. Nissan leaf and I think Honda are in the running too. Idk gotta start test driving to really know. I’ll still test drive a model 3, but from what I hear and see I probably won’t go for it

        The Ioniqs are absolutely sexy vehicles, they’re at the top of my list too!

        I was in the same boat as you having the Tesla be my dream car until all this Twitter shit hit the fan. My roommate has an Ioniq 5 which I liked so much I got an Ioniq 6 as soon as it came out. I absolutely love it.

        My friend bought a 22 leaf last year and from what I know, she loves it. It definitely took some getting used to! We still normally take my car on road trips, though.

        Man those Ioniqs look so good in person too. I’m considering buying one for my wife next year, if I can convince her to get ride of her beloved Prius

        Well their brake lights wouldn’t turn on during regenerative braking and Hyundai has had some bouts of hacking scandals. But I have heard owners saying food things about them.

      I’ve had my Mach-E GT for two years now and it’s been very reliable and very comfortable. There were a couple of small hiccups early on, but I can’t see going back to non-electric cars. Would definitely buy it again!

      My parents got a 2021 Mach E and they love it. I’ve driven it a few times. I’m eyeing one for my next car too, though I’ve also been interested in Hyundai’s offerings. I’ve never wanted a Hyundai in my life but their new EV lineup looks pretty compelling.
