I believe the test drive of the Model 3 at the LA auto show persuaded me to get a Tesla when I wasn't even considering it at that time.
I was driving a BMW M3 and I wanted something more practical, I'm not really a gear head so I didn't really enjoy driving the M3. It looks cool, but gas based sports cars are cumbersome and demanding to drive, including Lamborghinis (which I rented). It just makes me more tired.
But the Model 3 was a practical car that could still go fast so I could still have fun with it, so it made sense. It's much easier to drive an EV that a gas powered sports car.
Are there Rivians or Tesla to test drive?
