Who here has over 1,000 miles actually driving a full electric vehicle?
I'm seeing a lot of talk about them.I'm about 3,000 miles in.
I'm curious who else here has actual seat time?

But muh engine sounds!!!!
Is the sound of your gas powered engine really just an audio track being played through a speaker?
Skeuomorph.
You're getting skeu'd.
Immediate power that's much faster than gas.
Super quiet on the highway and the road noise is reduced by insulation inside the tires.
They feel heavy for their size to me.
The superior power delivery of electric motors makes it not noticeable in the acceleration but I feel it in the handling.
My favorite thing is the regenerative braking.
Lifting off the throttle applies the regenerative braking. Essentially allowing you to begin braking before moving your foot to the brake pedal. Very nice in heavy traffic and twisty mountain roads. I'd guess about 80% of my braking is handled by throttle lift of with the last 20% being brake pedal use to come to a complete stop or urgent braking.
