Thinking about getting a EV. Just curious why you got yours. The reasons I can think of are:

  • Environmentally friendly 🌵
  • Cheaper Fuel ⚡️
  • They are cool/trendy 😎
  • Lower maintenance 🔧

Is there anything surprising that you found out after you bought it?

    They hate the innate “unfairness” that other people buying the same car on the same day are paying a different price.

    Personally I’ve never had a problem negotiating with dealers, but it’s certainly not a enjoyable experience. (But having said that, I’m a hypocrite because I’ve never used a “no-haggle” dealer, because I know I can do better than their no-haggle price! 😁)

      I’ve owned a couple of Teslas and now a Rivian. I think the dealership experience is actually better because you can go pick out your car, physically inspect it for obvious defects, and drive home the same day. My first Tesla convinced me that I will never buy an ICE car again. My Rivian is the best car I’ve ever owned. But helping my mom buy a Lexus yesterday was the best purchasing experience I’ve ever gone through.
