Why would anyone buy a Tesla in 2026?

Best charging experience and best software experience.

Note: I do not want this to be true. Other companies please copy what Tesla has done with both of these. You’ve had years to do this and failed.

Price? They are quite cheap these days relative to comparable cars from other manufacturers.

Self driving maybe? I’m happy to be corrected but I think most brands don’t offer the full self driving package Tesla offers.

As a data point - in my market Tesla is the only manufacturer that makes an EV sedan, and has made them long enough for there to be used ones at reasonable prices (not a lot of people have Taycan money). Most of EVs, especially used ones, are tall and heavy SUVs that put driving experience as the absolutely last priority.

Did I actually buy a Tesla? No. But this has entered as part of my "which EV" conundrum.
