The problem with most of people is they have not tried/live with one.
I truly dislike Tesla. Good engineering but poor execution.

I am getting an EV as it is a natural progression for me. I drove only manual transmissions for decades. Where was the skill of pressing an accelerator to the floor? Eventually, automatics became so efficient. They were better at shifting and even got better gas mileage. I held out and at least had paddle shifters with no clutch. But, almost every car has an automatic transmission. If all you are doing is mashing the pedal, you might as well have all the torque available at the onset. It doesn’t matter to me what type of engine. The instant torque is intoxicating.
