The difference is many companies sell their EVs at a marginal loss while Tesla does not. I'm not saying Tesla is in good financial standing, only that they are closest to making a profitable EV line.
The price on the Model 3 was reduced following the first credit phase out, which tends to create a ceiling on price. If the full federal tax credit comes back for a short period of time, I'd be inclined to get a base Tesla. It would be about $25,000 out the door if I work things correctly. Perhaps they'll have even more kinks worked out with fit and finish by then. I'd probably need to order it now if I wanted it in 6 months though.
