I'm sure I'm not the only one.I disagree with "have to go out of their way", many companies now build electrics and it's easy to find them.

In 2024 Tesla sales accounted for 49% of EV sales in the US. Tesla sales have been dropping quarter to quarter (ie, Q1 2025 was less than Q1 2024) as well as year over year. I see no reason why that trend would change in Tesla's favor.

I considered electric too, and would never buy a Tesla with Elon at the helm.
