Guess which automaker was left off a top 10 list of best EVs (hint: it's Tesla)

Few surprises lurk in Autotrader’s list of its 10 best electric vehicles of 2023, but there is one that stands out: no Teslas.

There's Hyundais and Kias, Porsches and Fords, a BMW and a Nissan. But … no Teslas.

Although many of us admit to being over-Musked and tired of reading about him, the lack of a Tesla model on a selection of the 10 most desirable current EVs is conspicuous by its absence.

Asked about this particular omission, we received this rather vague response from Autotrader spokesperson Brenna Buehler at Cox Automotive: “Tesla models were included in consideration but didn’t get sufficiently high scores by the Editorial team to qualify for the top 10.”
