I do believe this is ok to a certain extent, as i noted in my post you quoted.

It is wrong if car makers in the future to just be tacking on fees for nothing. However that just proves my point that car makers have to catch up to tesla.

While there is no doubt the MB EQ EV or whatever that model is is VERY NICE. I think MB interiors are THE BEST of ANY car maker, and yes MB shits on BMW with interiors, that 1200 annual fee is bullshit.

Again, car makers will catch up to where everyone is on an even playing field and car buying will basically be about who is more brand loyal. And who has the better tech.

Performance wise, i think in 2 decades every car maker will be exactly the same in terms of performance. You just have to pick which model you like looking at aesthetically and which has the better interior.

Maybe i won't be a tesla owner in the future and i will get MB as my EV of choice. But right now, in terms of what an actual EV is, tesla is number 1. Will be that way for a while.
100% agree with what you've said.
I'm "tempted" to get into the EV world, especially interested in the KIA Ev6, which has new charging tech that gets you 80% battery in 15 minutes.
Several YT videos give it a nod above Tesla, which is impressive.

What I dont like is BMW, MB and others charging customers for normal shit you already paid for. I'm all for Capitalism, but this bullshit is going overboard.
