We caught up with John, a first-time Tesla owner who recently celebrated his one-year anniversary behind the wheel of his new ride. We asked him to share some of his unexpected takeaways from owning an electric vehicle (EV) and the features he's grown to love.

As John explained, there were several aspects of his Tesla experience that surprised him at first.

  • The Autopilot feature is more advanced than he expected. "I was blown away by how smoothly it handles merging onto highways," John said.
  • The Supercharger network is a game-changer for road trips. "No need to worry about charging on the go – it's like having a gas station built into your car."
  • Despite initial reservations, he's fallen in love with the car's interior ambient lighting options. "It adds so much ambiance and flair to the driving experience. I wish I had known how customizable it was earlier!"

We're glad John is enjoying his Tesla! If you're considering upgrading your own ride or adding some extra features, check out our selection of automotive accessories.
