    Comfortable compared to what? That’s subjective. So unless you’ve got some kind of consumer data to back up what most people want and how they feel about it, I’m just gonna say that’s not super helpful. Especially when considering the other problems that I have with new cars altogether.

      Naturally it’s subjective, but i compare it to driving my Uncle’s Cadillac, but if you’re so concerned, just watch a quick video on how to use the car and rent a Tesla or something for a day and see how it goes, make up your mind for itself. Im not here to be an evangelist. Im just speaking my mind.if you don’t like it, then that’s on you, choose what you want

        I have driven almost every Tesla and literally every single Ford electric and hybrid vehicle they have made. My brother works for a dealership. There’s lots of things I don’t like about electric cars full stop but a fair few of those things aren’t unique to just the electric car market up to and including the amount of tech in all new cars which I am very much against. I have made up my mind for myself.

        If you meant for the average consumer to make up their mind for themselves, I’m definitely with you on that. But I don’t understand why the “it works for me crowd” don’t want to admit that it may not work for everyone or even the majority. And that’s what I’m responding to. It’s not just you. There are a lot of people who don’t want to listen to anyone who says there are downsides that make it untenable for them.

          Aren’t you just venting on me then? Because please reread my initial post beyond the word comfort, where I literally voice my complaints on my car and mention when one should choose a plug-in hybrid vehicle, but I still love my car. How i complained that electricity at superchargers is almost the same as my previous gas costs. So please calm down and drink some water or something sir. I literally just spoke my experiences, nothing more, and am genuinely uninterested in long arguments where the client has implicitly made up their mind already. Im a random dude in Florida who drives for a living. Not a car salesman.
