Here in Oregon the RWD version would be $25,000 after tax credits and rebates. That would make it the same price as a base model FWD Tiguan. Add in $6,000 in fuel savings and another $2 - $3K in maintenance savings over 10 years and I can't make a case for buying the gas Tiguan.
The Tesla Y is too expensive for me to consider and it is a Tesla so that is a no-go. (Build quality, interior, Musk). The Mach-E is interesting but $10K more.
250 miles of range and 200 hp is more than enough for me.
I'm not happy with the way options are configured but that might change with US production. Power seats with leather coverings are part of a $4500 option package with nothing else of any value to me. The colors are really boring to: Black, Grey, Silver, White, Blue. AWD models aren't available in blue.
