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

A few months ago, we spoke with our readers about their experiences with electric vehicles (EVs). One conversation that stuck out was with John, a first-time Tesla owner who shared his thoughts on what surprised him the most after owning the car for over a year. We caught up with John again to see how he's adjusting to life with his new ride.

We asked John about the biggest surprise when it came to driving his Tesla every day. His response? "The more I drive this car, the more impressed I am by its tech and features."

• "I thought I'd get used to the touchscreen interface quickly," he said, "but I still find myself discovering new features all the time."
• John also praised the advanced safety features of his Tesla. "I was a bit skeptical about the Autopilot system at first, but it's actually saved me from a few close calls on the highway."

One thing that didn't surprise John, however, was the impressive range and efficiency of his EV. "As an occasional long-distance driver, I appreciate knowing that my Tesla can easily handle a road trip without needing to stop for fuel." And with a little planning, he's been able to make even longer trips without worrying about charging.

When asked what advice he'd give to someone thinking of buying their first EV, John said, "Just do it! The experience is so different from traditional gas-powered cars – you'll love it." But don't take our word for it: read the rest of his interview on our website for more insights into life with an electric vehicle.
