Never, and I say that as a former employee who enjoyed my time there.

While EVs make sense as commuter cars for the general public, they will never match the driving engagement of traditional cars. No gears, no noise, heavy curb weight...not for me.

Then when it comes to Tesla specifically, they are a tech company not an enthusiast-oriented automaker. The entire goal of the company is to remove the driver from the picture. Their cars have become incredibly common and are their fans are a cult of straight up dweebs, I've experienced it first hand. They are either tech nerds, holier-than-thou environmentalist types, or both. These are the types of people who are destroying my hobby and I don't want to be associated with them.
