Yes, there are more ev competitors emerging but their engineering isn't at the same level, they sell fewer, and they sell at a loss. You can get a Tesla for roughly the same price as a Kia ev. Hmm, I know which one I'll take.
I would take a Kia Niro EV over a Tesla even at the same price. They are a solid car company with good quality that is almost certain to be around to handle any warranty issues. The hatchback design is way more functional and then there is the interior. I won’t buy a car with all the controls on a touchscreen in the middle of the dash.

Tesla also sells EVs at a loss.
