I traded my Prius in for a Tesla Model 3. It is a lot like driving a computer but it is intriguing software that makes it easy for each assigned driver to have their own seat and side mirror settings as well as other cabin preferences.
Smaller EVs and better batteries are on the way. I used this site - cclusa.org/ira-calc - to determine a tax credit I can get. That can help some people to start owning a new or used EV. What is your favorite?
You make an excellent point, Scott. We need to turn around.
