I need a new car, and I really want to go full electric. I’m wondering if anyone regrets buying one? What are the downsides?

    Bought an egolf way back.

    Kind of regretted it but not really, it was just barely usable for commuting.

    Bought a model 3, only regretted it because covid started later that month.

    Bought a plug in suv, the plug in part is great, Toyota has such trash software I don’t think I’ll ever buy one again, though the car itself seems reliable as a rock otherwise.

    Evs chance the reliability game because there are a fraction as many parts in the drive train, you don’t feel like you have to worry about reliability as much.

    Musk is a shit in various stages of psychosis, but the tesla was revolutionary, even though the self-drive is a complete lie, what it has is thoughtful software which is what we really need.

      Tesla was already on its way to revolutionary when Elon bought it, so he really had nothing to do with it. However, the disaster that is the Cybertruck is all his fault.
