The Competitive Chronicles - The Grass Is Not Always Greener... (Tesla, Toyota, Hyundai/Kia, GM, etc.)

I don't know if this will catch on, but in the face of some of the MME troubles that some have reported, I thought I'd start a thread of competitive ownership, quality, experience issues, etc. in the news. Yes, our MME's may have their moments... but at least wheels are standard and not an option.... (Toyota, Tesla)

We'll start with a new Tesla feature: "The Removable Steering Wheel"

Unwanted Winter Heat, of the Spontaneous Kind

I will say I have a rental Kia Nero PHEV today, and it has everything the techie needs around here wish it had. Heated rear seats. Auto tilt side mirrors when shifting into reverse. Dynamic power meters for power into and out of the battery. More comfortable seats with way more adjustment options than the Mach-E. More intuitive menus. Steering wheel paddles to increase/decrease regen braking. I’m quite impressed, even if it isn’t nearly as much fun to drive.
