Fair point. EVs in general don't sell worth a lick besides Tesla.

Mediocre range aside, all these automakers have competition sitting in their own showrooms. Nobody is trying to pay $75k for a base E-tron when a similar looking and similar sized Q5 sitting next to it is $40k cheaper. The larger and more luxurious Q7 is $20k cheaper.

To get into the Tesla brand and utilize their tech, you have to go EV.
