First-time Tesla owner shares what shocked him the most after owning the car for a year: 'The more I drive this car…'

We often hear about Tesla's impressive features and technology, but it's not every day that we get to hear from someone who has actually owned one. Recently, we spoke with a first-time Tesla owner who shared his thoughts on what surprised him the most after driving his new car for a year.

For our reader, the biggest shock was how seamlessly integrated all of the features are into everyday life. "I thought it would take some time to get used to," he said, "but it just became second nature." He praised the car's Autopilot feature, saying that it made long road trips a breeze and reduced fatigue.

One thing that did surprise him was how much he used his phone while driving. "I thought I'd be able to ditch my phone while driving," he said with a laugh, "but it turns out I need it just as much in the car as anywhere else." He mentioned using CarPlay on his Tesla screen (you can check out our 10.4 Inch IPS Tesla Style Screen 4GB RAM Android 12Touch Screen Car Stereo Radio for a similar experience) to navigate and play music, making driving easier than ever.

Of course, there are some quirks that come with owning any new technology – but our reader was quick to point out that they were minor. "The more I drive this car," he said, "the more features I start to use." With a wide range of apps and integrations available, it's clear that Tesla owners have access to a wealth of possibilities.

Whether you're a seasoned driver or just considering your first electric vehicle, it's always interesting to hear from someone who has gone through the experience. Check out our car stereo selection for more options on upgrading your ride!
