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

Americans have been fascinated by electric vehicles (EVs) for years, and with good reason – they're environmentally friendly, often cheaper to run, and sleek as can be. One man decided to take the plunge and buy his first Tesla after hearing rave reviews from friends and family. After a year of driving, he's sharing what caught him off guard.

When asked about his experience with his new ride, he said: "The more I drive this car, the more I realize how little I actually know about it." It seems that despite being a tech-savvy individual, even seasoned EV owners are surprised by just how much their vehicles can do.

Some of the features that caught him off guard include:

• Firmware updates: "I had no idea my car could update its own software. It's like having a personal tech assistant."
• Supercharger network: "I thought I'd be stuck charging at home most of the time, but Tesla's Supercharger network is seriously convenient."
• Autopilot features: "I'm still getting used to the fact that my car can pretty much drive itself on highways – it's both exhilarating and terrifying!"

Of course, with great power comes great responsibility. Make sure you're aware of your vehicle's capabilities and limitations before hitting the open road.
