> But their cars kinda suck overall

Do explain how a kinda sucky car, Model Y, became best selling car in Europe in September and is tracking to be best selling car world wide in 2023.

And yes, I do mean "car", not "electric car". Model Y is outselling Peugeot 208, a car half its price.

Because gas is obscenely expensive in Europe, so EVs are in high demand and there are very few "real" EVs available. Especially in the form factor of the Y, which is especially popular these days.

The model 3/Y are over priced, have poor build quality, and are a nightmare to have serviced. But there are no real competitors (yet).
