Sure; maybe you want a type of vehicle Tesla doesn't offer, or you want to buy from a vendor who's more open about making parts and service information available to users, or you want a more traditional car interface with normal switches and buttons rather than a big touch screen.
Your question is sort of like asking if there's any reason to buy a computer that isn't made by Apple. Of course there is, it just depends on what you're looking for.
I'd imagine a lot of people are also explicitly avoiding Tesla due to its association with its increasingly erratic owner.
If it were me, and I absolutely needed a new car and did not want to get an ICE vehicle, I would lease something until the 2025 conversion is complete. The value of an EV with a nonstandard charger is going to drop precipitously at that point.
Buy the car for what it is today, not what it might be tomorrow. Many Tesla owners have been burned hoping for a feature, a retrofit, or even missing out on one taken away.
If I’m evaluating EVs for what they are today, I see little reason to buy a non-Tesla, since the charger is going to require an adapter for the charging infrastructure that appears to be the standard soon.
That's a fair point - if you are going to drive long distances, then a Tesla is the best option in terms of network reliability and price. But for most, an adapter with the occasional road trip isn't a deal breaker. Tesla owners have had to use an adapter for charging at non-superchargers since inception.
