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

We love hearing from our readers about their experiences with electric vehicles, and today we're sharing a fascinating story from a first-time Tesla owner who's been driving his Model 3 for over a year. We asked him to share what surprised him the most about owning an EV, and his response was enlightening.

"The more I drive this car," he said, "the more I realize just how much it's changed my daily routine." He explained that since switching to the Tesla, he's started using his commute time to stay connected with loved ones – whether it's a quick call or a message on the car's built-in touchscreen.

He also mentioned that the advanced Autopilot features have become an essential part of his driving experience. "I used to get so tired of being stuck in traffic," he said, "but now I can just relax and let the car do the work." He's even started taking longer road trips, enjoying the seamless navigation and entertainment system.

As for range anxiety, he reassured us that it's a non-issue. "I've had a few close calls where the battery was getting low," he admitted, "but I just plug in at a supercharger and I'm good to go." He's even started to use the car's built-in charging network to top up on long trips.
