Well done Autocar and Move Electric. You've managed to lose all credibility with your first awards by not including a Tesla Model 3 or Y. If Tesla dont buy an ad or join the SMMT they get cancelled eh?
I'm a regular defender of Autocar's impartiality, but how on earth can you have a top six with no Tesla in it? By what measure are the Polestar or Skoda better than a Model 3? Range? Performance? Handling? Efficiency? Space? Ease of use?Value for money? "Yeh, but they've got hatchbacks, and early Teslas weren't built very well" is not the answer surely? Please don't undermine your credibility at the outset.
Does build quality and a driver's binnacle really beat all of those? Kind of ridiculous.
Entirely understandable when you realise how little Tesla spend on advertising with Autocar...
