Some brief Google searches:

> Volkswagen e-Golf SE CVT, 5 seats: $31,895 (OTR)
> The 2022 Hyundai Ioniq hybrid has a $23,600 starting price, which is among the lowest in the Hybrid Cars class
> 2022 Chevrolet Bolt EUV should remain close to the current model that ranges from $28,795 to $33,295 (with destination).
> The price range for the Renault Zoe varies based on the trim level you choose. Starting at $33,990 and going to $40,480 for the latest year the model was manufactured.
> Currently, the Rear-Wheel Drive trim of the Tesla Model 3 starts at an MSRP of $40,240 with zero upgrades
Riiiight. Totally the lowest prices. Note that outside the US market they also tack on import/customs fees, making them ridiculously overpriced.
They may be pretty good at not rolling over, but so is any other EV with a low mounted battery. As for the build quality, the panel line jokes are basically popular culture by now. I'm sure legacy manufacturers can at least build a car body to spec. And include things like dials and buttons, which apparently aren't cost effective enough to Tesla's liking for the Model 3.
