EVs in Expo, none by Legacy American automakers.

BYD had 5 models, BMW 3 models, Tesla had the Model Y.

I did, as I already owned the ICE version.  Did get a chance finally to sit in one, and get hands on, passed on the test drive, about a month before ours was delivered, 4 months after ordered.

 

Would I do the same for a different brand / model ... Hell NO, that's crazy.

Mine takes me from point A, to point B.  It's a machine for my convenience, no more, no less.

 

Pretty low on the list of things my life revolves around.
