I drive a model 3 but had sporty cars in the past (WRX/STI, corvette, etc).
Acceleration is great and it's fun to get up to speed fast. The car doesn't feel nimble and doesn't feel glued to the road like an AWD gas car.
In four years (50k miles) I've replaced the tires, replaced the 12V battery, and put windshield wiper fluid in the car. Almost no maintenance.
I used to have to stop and get gas every 5-6 days, now I just plug in every night. Having lived with an EV for a few years the thought of going back to driving to a gas station to get gas just seems so inconvenient.
My electricity rates are pretty cheap (flat $0.15c/kwh), so I'm paying ~$0.04/mile to drive my car. About $600/year in fuel costs.
I find trips more than a few hundred miles are inconvenient. I would love to have an EV with a 500+ mile range so I can use it for road trips and trips to remote areas.
At this point I'm 100% sold on EVs, I can't imagine my next vehicle not being an EV.
