I test drove a Tesla and an EV6 and wound up with the EV6. Tesla's got a lot going for them but their lead is quickly evaporating.

I looked at both too, and bought a model Y. What were the deciding factors for you? I liked the Tesla software and easy supercharger access. The model Y also felt more spacious, especially in the trunk. I would summarise it as a much better UX in the model Y.

For me, deciding factors:

- Cockpit -- EV6 has a panoramic (horizontal) display, plentiful buttons, and a heads-up display. I found this much more ergonomic for my eyes and hands than Tesla's all-in-one center-mounted display.

- Availability of Android Auto/CarPlay -- Tesla's software is more polished than Kia's but I'd rather project my phone. All my stuff's on it.

- EV6 is the #1 recommendation for its class in Consumer Reports as well as #1 in projected dependability for same.

precisely, with waymo partnering with uber you know that personal car ownership with all the headaches that entails is drawing to a close

If everyone wants to rent the vehicle at the same time? How is renting more convenient than ownership of an autonomous vehicle?

it's not, it's more efficient and thus cheaper
