There's a lot of great EV choices made by other companies. VW and BMW both sold over half a million last year globally. GM and Hyundai each sold over 100k in the US.
There are very few US cars here in Lisboa. A significant fraction of that very small number are Teslas. But of the dangerous interactions with cars I've experienced as a daily long-distance walker here, more than half were Teslas. I am unsure whether to put that down to drivers improperly relying on the self-driving in chaotic urban environments, or drivers who carry some fraction of Musk's arrogance. The one guy who drove into the middle of a crosswalk I was already crossing, blocking me; stopped there; and sneered at me suggests the latter.
I do see a fair number of European EVs. And even more Chinese EVs. There is a gigantic BYD dealership not far from my house.
Just some local and anecdotal impressions.
