I mean, we all know who the driver is to launch 'cybertrucks' and 'robotaxis' instead of more affordable variations.

Also, not sure what the whole 800v hype is about. I rent EVs for roadtrips and Tesla's are basically the fastest charging ones with current architecture, haven't had a need for 800v since at the cell level the charging speed is already maxed out.

Re: the Y, even though they won't sell because some hand gestures and behaviors, they did almost every complaint people have about the old model Y.

Looking at EVDatabase, it seems like the 800v cars charge quite a lot faster? The EV6 manages 205kW average compared to 124kW for the long range Model Y. From my experience, the EV6 hits those charging speeds very reliably.

Now look at available chargers…

It’s clearly better, but far from key factor. Efficiency usually dictates overall trip duration.

Everything I've seen is that Hyundai/Kia's charge noticeably (though not massively) faster than Tesla's. I've never DCFC a Tesla to compare but my Ioniq is usually under 20 mins in practice

There are many people who complain about long charging times.

And there exist countries outside Tesla‘s supercharger network.
