But had a friend with an original Tesla Roadster-- crazy fast.

A Ford Focus EV was fun but bricked a few days into my one week trial, 12V battery died.

A Mitsubishi MiEV was fun but very basic.

There was the Chevy Volt and eventually I bought one and it was struck by an angry truck driver.

I had taken my wife to try every EV on the market around 2018 and she waiting for the Tesla Model Y and then got one and I learned on that how the whole thing works.

I hate Musk but the car was developed by others and one of only few designed from the ground up to be an EV.
