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?

    Have a model 3 and a Nissan 4wd. Model 3 is the do everything car for both me and my wife. The 4wd is for towing and adventures. I drive it maybe once a week to clean the cobwebs out lol but we do about 10,000-15,000 in it over our 5weeks of PTO a year

    I love ICE cars and being in Aus and doing 700-1000km in one day to travel the country on adventures, an EV won’t handle doing this whilst towing a 1500-2000kg camper and fully loaded 2200kg car.

    I love my model 3 and we do regular 500-600km round trips in it to family out side of our city, but the long haul drives towing for adventures, they have a long way to go before I’ll forgo my diesel 4wd.

    Ev makes total sense as a runaround and suitcase traveler for sub 400km one way trips. :-)
