In this video I do something I have never done before and that is to drive an EV (BEV, battery electric vehicle) more specifically a Tesla Model 3. In the video I share my genuine and honest first impressions, my frustrations with the touchscreen, charging attempts and cornering experience.

I have to say that the driving was a lot more enjoyable than I imagined. Different but not that different. Some things, mostly related to the user interface were definitely not as enjoyable and were even frustrating. The goal of the video was to share honest and genuine feelings and impressions through the eyes of a petrolhead so that other petrolheads can get a relatable second hand experience of EV driving.

I also have to say that I'm ashamed the Internet almost managed to convince me into thinking that I must pick a side. Choose one over the other. Stand against EVs because I'm a petrolhead. I realized that I started to dislike these cars without ever having tried them. I started getting on a bandwagon and I think that's stupid and it does nothing other than rob me of new experiences. There's no reason to pick sides. It's just a car. We only live once so I think it's better to taste and try everything rather than argue about things. It's better to appreciate the incredible diversity of this interesting time we live in.

Thanks for watching.
