Enjoy having to scroll through touchscreen menus to change the temp, vents, literally anything
It's wild how much misinformation is posted in every single Tesla thread.

I think people would give your POV more weight if they grasp the fact you are really a petrol head at heart.
Being willfully dumb is the way to go for those folks.

None. Owning an electric vehicle is the pinnacle of human civilization rivaled only by the Pantheon.

Again, willfully dumb people being willfully dumb.

I don't care for the regenerative braking. Years and years of coasting when I take my foot off the gas. Not a fan of immediate braking or having to keep my foot on the accelerator when I should be able to coast.

The 1 pedal driving is legit my #1 favorite feature by far of owning a Tesla. 2nd, whatever it is, is not even close. 99% of the time, you never have to touch the brake with your foot. I love it.
Maybe not 2nd, but another great benefit that 1 other poster mentioned that usually isn't mentioned, not having to deal with your typical folks you have to deal with wandering around near gas stations. I live in a decent town so it doesn't happen much, but even in a nice town, gas stations will attract the weird folks that want to interact with you.

How many families who take family vacations own only one vehicle?

The battery will diminish its ability to hold a charge within 15 and they’re very expensive to replace

They don’t really like to talk about that

In his defense, he said he didn't know

Unless you own a home with a garage and the ability to charge it there, I wouldn’t consider it. Fuuuuuck having to go to charging stations

It’s an EV. THAT is all that needs to be said

He said they also burn through tires a lot quicker than gas cars, I guess because they’re heavier.
$450 per tire according to my brother.

Welp....I'm IN! Sign me up.
Was strongly considering an Ioniq 5 or 6 until they got axed for the tax credits, though.

Your brother may have tires that cost $450 per tire on his Tesla, but that is not necessary and tires really aren't any more expensive than a comparable car.

The way people on here talk about replacing a battery you'd think they'd all be on bicycles. Wouldn't want to scare anyone with replacing the engine in an ICE, better get on a man-powered machine!

Just checked tirerack and a Pilot 4S is $300. And there are much cheaper ones available.

It's all positives and negatives. That's how it works.
