The Tesla Model 3 dropped from first place to third, behind the Toyota Camry and the Honda Civic, among all passenger cars sold.

    My current ICE may be due for replacement after over a decade of use.

    I want an EV with NACS that isn’t a Tesla. And so I wait. I don’t need anything complicated, but I don’t want to own a car with the “wrong” kind of port.

    Edit: Or they could layoff the entire Super Charger team at a time the build out is most necessary and leave things super uncertain.

    To car manufacturers: don’t trust Musk. I don’t have strong feelings about which connector “wins,” I just don’t want to be using the one no one else does. And that depresses the value of the car.

      Pretty sure you can get an NACS adapter now, but otherwise non Tesla vehicles pre-equiped with a NACS port are due to arrive next year.

      You have exactly summed up my views. I currently have a 2020 MY and it convinced me that I probably won’t buy another ICE vehicle. With all the crap coming out of Tesla and Musk lately, I also can’t imagine getting another Tesla.

      I’m just waiting for NACS to be built in and hoping today’s layoff news doesn’t ruin that as well…
