I am still waiting for a day of no frills EVs or just more no frills cars in general. Less crap in the way to repair and whatnot. But all I see passing car lots are bigger vehicles that look like they have so much stuff in them.

We need like a Kirkland brand EV. Unless I am an idiot and people don't want stuff like that.

I bought my first ev 8 months ago. 13k miles already and no maintenance cost yet. Absolutely love it and find any excuses to drive it.

I drove a gas guzzling 350hp coupe before jumping to a EV. I had my doubts but I'm glad I made the switch. It'll be awhile until we get a Costco like vehicle (my bet is Toyota or Hyundai will come out with something huge).

My commute is 70 miles a day and it's a blast. I drive it on weekends just because it's fun. I don't have any frills on it, just a screen I look at once in a while.5

Tesla model 3 performance. I know it gets shit on a lot for some reason but using it as a daily driver, it's the best car I ever had.

M3 here, the autopilot features are incredible, highway driving just fades away.

Definitely worth it, can barely drive my suv now.
