Tesla owners are overwhelmingly men, and the most common occupations are engineer, software engineer, and manager of operations, one study found.

Lots of better options out now. And in 5 years, Tesla may be the worst of them, given how bad their quality control is.

I just wish it wasn't their charging network that manufacturers were moving to, but I have to admit that it is better than the alternatives. And we do need a single standard like gas.

I wouldn't say there are lots of better options out there. There's definitely a lot of options. But there aren't many that I have seen that are better. Those that are, are more expensive. Those that are cheaper and better are Chinese and aren't available in the US market. I know this because we do receive Chinese vehicles here. From memory, top three selling EV brands here are Tesla, and two other Chinese brands. There are some equivalent alternative options, but it might not be for all people either.
