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

We got our hands on an interview with a first-time Tesla owner who's been driving his new ride for a whole year now. We asked him to share some of his thoughts and observations about owning a Tesla, and what surprised him most. Here's what he had to say:

When we spoke to John, he mentioned that one thing that really caught him off guard was how much he loved the car's Autopilot feature. 'At first, I thought it was just a fancy name for cruise control,' he said with a chuckle. 'But once I started using it regularly, I realized how much more comfortable and convenient it made my daily commutes.'

John also mentioned that the car's software updates have been incredibly seamless, saying, 'I've never had to deal with any bugs or glitches. It's like having a brand-new car every few months!' This is likely due in part to Tesla's advanced over-the-air update system.

We asked John if he's ever noticed any significant changes in his energy usage, given the car's electric powertrain. He replied that it was 'actually quite surprising' how much less fuel (or rather, electricity) he uses compared to his previous gas-guzzler. This is likely due to the fact that electric vehicles tend to be more efficient than their gasoline-powered counterparts.

We're curious: have you ever considered upgrading your ride to an electric vehicle? Let us know in the comments below!
