> I would never buy a Tesla because I see better options in the EV space,

Only Tesla EVs have range over 300miles EPA and cost less than 50k.

I'm worried there's a reason they're so cheap - they don't seem to have good build quality.

85 percent of Model 3 owners are "very satisfied" with the ownership experience, the most of all EV owners, in Norway. It's a good stat to go by since that market has the most EVs per capita in the world.

Not true, Ford Mach-E is $42k at 305 EPA. $36k after tax credit, so even cheaper.

42k is already after tax credit (and it's RWD only)

And Ford dealers are likely to sell them above MSRP. Or, at least they will try:

Oh wow, their marketing pages are very misleading. They list the best stats for each model, but no model exists that has that combo of stats.
