Went on business travel to CA this month and decided to try driving a Tesla to see what it was like. Big mistake… coming home to my civic is painful. Coworkers told me a lot of my gripes like lack of buttons wear off after a month or so. I was already all in on electric for when my car eventually died but god, idk how long I will be able to stay ICE. Anyone else have similar experiences on test drives?

    They say you don’t become a convert when you drive an electric car. You do so when you get back in your ICE vehicle.

    100% true and is the reason why after owning a tesla last year I lasted 3 weeks when I swapped it for an f-pace before I went back to electric again

      Hey there! I just had a horrible experience with my beloved 6 y/o F-Pace S which I’ve recently had no choice but to sell it due to a massive overheat. I’m considering ordering an electric car next, either a Fisker Ocean Extreme or a Rivian R1S, dual motor. The Genesis GV80 coupe looks amazing, but won’t be available for another year. The thought of fewer parts in an electric car is very intriguing to me as less can go wrong ( I know, software issues in electric cars are always the potential issue when a problem does arise). Can I ask which electric you switched to after the FPace, and how you’re enjoying it?
