Just curious how many people are going all electric? I sold my only ICE vehicle I had today, As we wait for our M3 (still waiting for my VIN unfortunately). I have my 2013 MS and the wife is going to have the M3. Looking to see how it is going for those that have done the same. I can't imagine I am the only one.

You are not alone. Sold the last ICE cars last year after not using them for over a year.

I have been ICE-free since I first got my Model S in 2012 and it's been great!

Model S and Model X.
ICE free since Jan 2016 when we took delivery of my wife's MX
I've had my MS's since Mar '14.
4 glorious years since I've pumped gas.

Model X and model S owner here, sold my V10 M5 9/17 and never looked back.
For all practical purposes yes. 99% of the time I'm electric only. I do still have an antique Mercedes I picked up at the factory in Germany in the early 70s. My mechanic (who recently bought an S) suggests I drive it twice a month. So I take it around the neighborhood and then back in the garage about that often.

Been driving EVs since 2007 and ICE free since 2011. We now have a Model S and a Model 3. I don't own any ICE engine anything.

My family is getting there. 3/5 of us drive electric. My brother owns a gas car but doesn’t actually drive so that barely counts. My mom drives a Honda Odyssey and we would like to get a Model X for her but it’s too expensive at the moment. Maybe a Model Y in the future.

Jesus. Now I see how you got your username.
Working on it. I’m driving a Fiat 500e and my husband is driving a Cadillac ELR that covers the vast majority of his needs on electric power. Our roommate also has a 500e that covers most of his driving needs. 100% of our daily commutes are done on renewable power.
We still have several ICE cars in our fleet, but they’ve turned into driveway queens while we work on selling them. Our Model 3 should be ready to configure sometime in April, fulfilling all of our road trip needs and allowing us to dump the ICE cars completely. Roommate will replace his gasser Tiguan when the Model Y arrives or if something else that appeals to him shows up between now and then (Hyundai Kona EV?).
This whole transition to electric has been very interesting. We’ve been diesel guys for the better part of two decades and the driving dynamics of electric are superior and operational costs are much lower.

I'm planning on selling our last ICE once the white interior is available for the Model 3 (we're keeping our S).
We replaced an Audi A4 with a VW e-Golf in 2015, and use it for almost all of our local transportation. We also put solar panels on the house roof. We loved the whole setup right off the bat, and determined to replace our long range ICE car (VW Passat) as well. That's why I stood in line on 3/31/16 to reserve the Model 3 that we were finally able to order last week. When it is delivered the Passsat goes, and we're close to the goal of being all electric. But still have a VW Eurovan camper for camping trips and occasional hauling. It'll probably be a while before there's a suitable EV replacement for that.

Have an S and the missus drive a X. Also have a Harley Davidson in case the apocalypse happens and dino-fuel is the only option. Oh, and Tesla solar with two PWs which I hope to be able to turn on in a couple of weeks once the power company has installed the net meter.
Well mostly! I am a car guy so I have lots of cars in various stages. That being said, we have three BEV (Tesla S, Leaf SL, Leaf SL) for daily driving and with the Tesla also being for long distance. Jeep for hauling travel trailer and boat, and ride Harley motorcycle with sidecar. My son has a daily driver Bolt.
