Never buying ICE again

So I wanted a Tesla, but could afford one (or couldn't get spousal agreement). Test drove many options and was thoroughly impressed with this. I will drive 50K miles this year, so I needed a car I could rely on, had range and I have no backup plan - so I'm all in. I have previously had some wonderful little Japanese cars that were a true joy to drive. The good - fun to drive, wicked cheap to run, little range anxiety so far, well built, decent cockpit design, one pedal driving, quiet. The okay - rides a little high and definitely not sport tuned like a traditional car, design (once you get through the first two days of realizing how cheap it looks) it grows on you. The bad - seats are not that comfortable, stereo uninspiring for sound quality, charges slowly - but they all do if you are on a road trip. Overall, I have truly loved driving this car so far and will never go back to a traditional car based purely on handling and costs. I will be happy when charging improves, but it is not something that causes me stress yet (my closest EVGO station is 100 miles away!). For anyone in indecision, test drive the car to see the difference. Then do some research on resale values of these and old teslas - they are holding values way better than anyone expected for good reason. Even better, reach out and talk to an owner - they will espouse virtues - because for the most part - the salespeople are clueless because there are not nearly enough of these every hanging out at the dealerships. Depending on driving style, how and climate there is a range of 150 - 300 miles - this should be more than enough for most people.

Love my new Bolt

So nice to never have to stop at a gas station and can always get in HOV lane on the highway. 238 mile range is more than adequate for me. I actually end up charging it less than my Volt since the Volt I always wanted to top off. Best all EV car for me and for most people. To have under 200 miles range is really not an option for me. I like that you can choose to use 1 pedal driving (L) or use it in Drive (D) and it feels like a regular car. I don't care for the 1 pedal driving, some love it. But at least you have the option. Surprisingly enough cargo room for a compact car. Battery is under the floor and no hump in the middle or large engine in front so things fit inside nicely. I can throw my bike in the back with the seats folded down. The display is huge and Android Auto seems to work great for navigation.

First EV I was attracted to.

This is a very nice EV, though not luxurious. I live in central Indiana and I can get to any part of the state without recharging. i would need a recharge for the trip back. I can get to 8 different state parks or recreation areas and back without recharging. The regenerative braking is outstanding, and "one pedal" driving is easy. I love the hatchback design and the higher driving position. I would not have wanted a sedan type auto. I have yet to try to get a bicycle in the back with the seats down and the front wheel of the bike off. I plan to use this vehicle for camping and around the state driving. It is not a longer distance road trip vehicle at this time in the EV charging infrastructure. I would warn those fellow Hoosiers that our state charges $150 extra dollars with annual registration to drive an EV to cover road taxes not paid buying gasoline. I calculated that I would have to drive 16,000 miles or more to buy enough gasoline to pay $150 in Indiana fuel tax. I guess Indiana wants us to burn coal in our autos. Cold weather driving does limit the range of a battery charge because of energy consumption for battery conditioning and heat.

What’s missing ...

Outside of no gas bills or oil changes there is: no exhaust, no transmission, no fuel tank, no bulky internal combustion engine, barely any moving parts, and no guilt about ruining the planet. Nice.

Picked up a 2019 LT a few weeks ago. $10,000 off MSRP means this car with the federal tax credit will cost me around 25k. I usually drive less than 20-30 miles per day with a short 2 mile commute to work. EV is perfect for my lifestyle and I only wish I did EV sooner, but glad I waited due to the HUGE discount. I see that the 2020 Bolt will now come with a 259 mile range which is better than the entry level Tesla Model 3. I don't think you can get a bigger bang for the buck right now.
