Tesla owners are modifying their cars to be escapable if the car catches fire, because the doors stop working like normal and you need to rely on well-hidden mechanical overrides.

Which... feels pretty dangerous, like that's the worst possible time for the doors to stop working like normal.

Tesla’s advantage was their charging network and that advantage evaporated when Musk opened the network to all other cars so he could slurp up that NEVI money (the money that Trump is ending).

Now there are multiple better alternatives to Tesla.
