I need a new car, and I really want to go full electric. I'm wondering if anyone regrets buying one? What are the downsides?

Not at all. Matter of fact I went and bought a second one a year later

Bought an egolf way back.

Kind of regretted it but not really, it was just barely usable for commuting.

Bought a model 3, only regretted it because covid started later that month.

Bought a plug in suv, the plug in part is great, Toyota has such trash software I don't think I'll ever buy one again, though the car itself seems reliable as a rock otherwise.

Evs chance the reliability game because there are a fraction as many parts in the drive train, you don't feel like you have to worry about reliability as much.

Musk is a shit in various stages of psychosis, but the tesla was revolutionary, even though the self-drive is a complete lie, what it has is thoughtful software which is what we really need.

if ur planning to keep the car for a very long time and maybe hand it down to your kids some day, - i wouldnt go electric. These things wont last as long. The current ones on the market are all new, which is why people dont think about that yet.

A coworker had a problem with one that decided to do a software update in a parking lot that ended up bricking the car. After that, they went back to a gas powered car.

Holy crap. That's an expensive software update. Did the manufacturer provide any kind of remuneration?
