I did a 24 hour test drive with an X back in 2017, put money down on a Model S before they came out (and then I bailed). In the last 2 weeks, I've been traveling and used uber a lot. I also tried to buy a Hummer EV the morning they were announced but was too late by 7:00AM MST.
I've ridden in quite a few Teslas but also a BYD, a Kia electric, a Bolt (volt?), a Hyundai electric, Toyota hybrid. I also have a Tundra hybrid for my daily driver.
The BYD was the 'nicest' car of the bunch to ride in and looked great. Tesla has the best traffic detection(?) screen. Its impressive.
Electric car demand is still strong in some places but these places have government based incentives or legislation forcing the issue. Electric cars make sense for some people but not everyone. Personally, I think hybrids make the most sense and have no regrets in buying one... yet.
Teslas and other electrics are still pretty cool but wont fit my rural lifestyle currently.
