any EVs worth waiting for 2027 and beyond?

You might take a look at the Equinox EV. There are several trim levels (and have AWD versions), but if none of them meet your standards, you can also look at the Cadillac Optiq, which is Cadillac's version of it. Another option is the BMW i4 which also has an AWD version.

There are great leases on the Equinox EV but there are also lots of incentives. So you can get a good deal either buying or leasing. For the BMW, leasing might be a better option since the $7,500 lease loophole can be used.

Tesla the only good one??? You need to do a little bit of research. There are EVs in every shape, performance specs and size. Tesla’s design is 10 years old at this point. 2027 and after there are cars coming out with 800 horse power and 500 mile range, charging times of 5-10 minutes, cars that beat the Tesla’s top model but cost 25k, etc. There are so many choices.

You really have to list what is important to you and how you will use the car.

Made better looking sporty ones.
Made them have longer trip distances than currently.
Made them for half the price they are now.
Made them to last longer than 10 years.
Made them more user friendly to work on.

Of course some of those requirements, such as the last three, should apply to all new vehicles.

Ignorant take.

Agreed. Sounds like someone has bought into the anti-EV myths.

The other poster needs to educate themselves more. They only have two somewhat valid concerns - range (which is improving) and price. Price could come down significantly, but the current Administration is working against that.

normally leasing is not financially smart, but there are some strong ioniq incentives right now...

I refused to buy a Tesla even though DH loves his.

I bought the Cadillac LYRIQ instead and love it.

We just got the ioniq, which had great leasing incentives. We plan to pay it off/ buy outright after 90 days. It’s been great so far. I think it comes in AWD

I love my used Mustang MachE. $21k after used EV tax credit (if you push your income below $150k for married couple).

EV’a make sense to lease or buy used. The depreciation is huge otherwise.

Tesla is not the best. It’s not even in the top ten.

Top 10 selling EVs so far in 2025. The Tesla model Y is still at the top (as it is also at the top worldwide).

False, but I can separate my emotions from my $$$. I hate elon and it's still one of the best options when you consider every aspect of owning EV

Tesla Model 3 gets very good reviews across the platforms I have been looking at. Tesla is working on a new less expensive model and that should come out in the next few years (if you want to wait for that).
