Yeah a lot of ignorant EV hate out there unfortunately. I think part of the problem is the annoying Musk/Tesla culture.
Tesla fit and finish can also be below par for the price point and dealing with Tesla service can be cumbersome which further gives a Tesla a bad rap.
We had a 2019 Tesla 3 Performance for almost 4 years before getting the Plaid. Great little car and never really had any issues with it other than stinky AC and a flat tire that required a tow to Tesla (nail). A Tesla Mobile Service person was able to come to my house and fix the AC.
Every person (including car enthusiasts, "EV haters") that has been in my Tesla M3P and Plaid were thoroughly impressed and surprised.
Ive owned 24 performance cars since I could drive and the Plaid is by far my favorite overall. Truly impressive acceleration from any speed, especially once the battery and drive motors are at an optimal temp. The power is so much fun and never gets old, all while being comfortable, practical and reliable. Not a track car but handling capability and feel are much better than you'd expect for a car this size and weight. Plenty capable for most street driving situations. Brakes are good but get a little sketch at speeds above 130mph. I will be upgrading the brake rotors in the near future.
Best of both worlds to me is a fast and comfortable EV to daily and a performance ICE car for the weekend.
Sorry all for rambling and going a bit off topic
