My 2 cents on EVs from someone who loves V8s. My very first car was a black 95 Camaro z28. Loved it but sold it after about 200k miles. Fast forward ordered my 2011 Camaro SS back then and love it too. Wifey was daily driving driving a Rover for 9 years.(lucky if we got 15mpg)One of my colleagues had me test drive his Tesla model 3 and the instant torque was crazy. Ended up gettting Tesla solar and later a model y performance for wifey and 6 months later I copped a long range model 3 from a friend at work. (Immediately downloaded the acceleration boost) Now that we charge for free at home and have been using free supercharger miles for over a year and a half paying for gas is painful. My wife drove my Camaro last week because one of the kids took the her Tesla and she was complaining about how slow it was . The Camaro also feels really slow to me now but it sounds great! As for range…. We have road tripped from SoCal to Washington state and back in the Y and had no issues with Tesla supercharger infrastructure and charged for free. Would have been about 2k in gas if we took the rover . Elon has lost his mind so probably won’t be buying any more teslas but we love ours. Will probably cop a rivian or a lucid in a few years As for gas cars I would love to have and RS6 or a Z06 for a weekend car but ain’t gonna happen with college to pay for….. and guys don’t forget the only real maintenance costs are wheels and tires …
