Anecdotally I agree. Back when all I knew about Tesla was that they made fancy electric cars, I dreamed of the day I’d be able to afford one. Now I’m looking to buy a new car this year and I won’t even take a Tesla on a test drive.
My situation was similar a couple of weeks ago. I had to either buy a new car or dump a couple of thousands on my then car (which is still good for at least a decade).
I did test drive a Tesla though as to have a ‘baseline’ for the other contenders. I did buy a different electric car just as planned but I’m glad I did the baseline.
BTW - just a heads up: make sure you check the headroom on the back seats of any EV you fancy. I might have bought a Kia EV6 if I didn’t bump my head in the ceiling in the back - and I’m of average height.
