I mentioned that I’d never been in an electric vehicle before, so he just told me to hop in, and we went for a spin around the block - even tested the acceleration a bit.
This is one of the perks of being self-employed: I’m free to do things completely unrelated to my work if I feel like it. And honestly, it’s amazing to see how kind people are outside the internet. My faith in humanity is being restored one customer at a time.
Yeah, most modern cars are so quiet anyway that it’s not immediately obvious you’re in an electric car - and even from the outside, most of the noise comes from the tires, not the engine. It really is superior technology in almost every way, but I’d imagine that the day-to-day driving experience isn’t all that different from any other modern car with an automatic gearbox.
Personally, I drive a stick, so from a driving experience standpoint, I’d actually consider going electric a bit of a downgrade. I quite like the analog feel, myself.
