My Model 3 was my first EV and while I like the Tesla features a lot, a huge portion of the love is being able charge at home and never go to a gas station (except for the occasion propane refill).
Once you get used to driving an EV (very smooth acceleration, silent, etc.) driving a gas car as a commuter is a bit less appealing.
It's my second EV. I got a BMW m235i in between my first EV and my Model 3, because my lease on the EV was up, I loved the performance of the EV, and wanted some range until I could buy a Model 3. I'm super concerned about climate, but don't drive much and thought that I could justify a 20-25mpg vehicle for a few short years...
The Model 3 is by far the best car I've had. Had multiple Pruises, a boat of a Chevy Impala, and driven lots of rental cars when on trips to places without public transit.
And despite all this, I'm still slightly ashamed to say it's my favorite car, because I'm no fan of Musk. Whatever team at Tesla is building this is great, but I have a feeling that it has very little to do with the singular person who wants to take credit...
