Went to visit my in-laws at their retirement community today for Mother’s Day. My father in-law has a friend there that heard we bought an EV. He was curious as he has only seen stories about them on TV. I told him to come by after he finished lunch and I would take him for a ride. Anyway we go for a ride and he is completely in sensory overload trying to take it all in. He can’t figure out whether to watch the dash touch screen or out the windows. Apparently the TV coverage he has seen was not favorable to EV’s. He could not believe he was riding in an ELECTRIC car. He had a vision that electric cars are clunky, sluggishly slow and unrefined. We only went for about a 5-7 mile ride on city streets. I used autopilot for more than half the trip to demonstrate a little bit of what the car was capable of. He absolutely was amazed that a car could stop, go and steer around a corner all by itself, AND do it smoothly! I made sure he put his head back on the seat and gave it a small tap on the accelerator so he could feel a little bit of what it was capable of. The look was priceless. It was only 1/3 to half throttle. I wasn’t trying to scare him I just wanted to show him an electric vehicle wasn’t what he thought it was. He definitely was shocked with the overall experience. I know he will be asking for more rides as he was overwhelmed with all the technology. He could not believe that cameras could pick up and filter through all the signs, construction cones, people, cars and road markings. I was just glad to make his day as he definitely enjoyed the experience.
