The keyword in your list of future competitors to the Model 3 is "horizon". As in "at least two, most likely three or more years away". But people are buying, driving, and overwhelmingly enjoying Model 3s today.

It is difficult to distinguish a dispassionate examination of evidence from the human condition of bias and cognitive dissonance. All I can say is that I gave them my deposit money and I dismissed other alernatives for about a year. But, as I learned more after the first year of waiting, and started to see results, both online and in-person, demonstrating that I was committed enough to spend much time evaluating (I even had picked colors and wheel treatments), I found the reality of Model 3 below my expectations and went through the process of getting a refund. I guess others can assess my motivations through that process as they wish.
I took a 3 year BMW lease to replace the anticipated Model 3. I'm out until January 2021. Others may have a variety of commitments and time horizons of their own for them to best determine. The Ford and Polestar models are much closer to launch. The point remains, choices are coming, from much more experienced and competent producers, and some may find that worth waiting for. If you're already in with Tesla, and having a good experience, which their forum shows is far from uniform, more power to you! |
Could not agree more about more choices on the horizon, especially from BMW.
