That it's about 1.1 kilomiles away in my rear view mirror. That when I bought its last tank of gas, it was my last tank of gas. That while it may have been an ICE car, it was at least a hybrid. And, tongue out of cheek: I do miss its small size; I'm still getting used to how large the 3 is in comparison to a Prius c.

This might not be popular on this board, but:
Sound, smell, and manual transmissions. If you enjoy tracking your car or taking it through the twisties, dropping 20%... and arguably more...from the driving experience, is a drag. Hearing the tires react to steering and pavement more is an interesting difference, but it does't make up for it.
Day to day, nothing beats a BEV....but I do miss the more involved driving experience of an ICE with MT when being "athletic".

Totally agree. Rotary telephones were way too much fun to dial, and you just can't beat how dial-up internet made you feel like you were earning your internet connection.

I came from a Lexus. Following are things I missed:
- much less road and tire noise
- no vampire drain if I park my car for extended period of time.

The sound (and attention it gets), the V8 top end, takes 5 minutes to fill up, using heat in the winter and it not killing my mileage, not losing speed when I get low on gas, can park for long periods of time and not lose range.

I'm right there with you on missing my manual tranny. Prior to my P3D, I owned an Audi, BMW, Lexus, and a Subaru. Of all of my ex-ICE cars, I only miss the Subaru WRX. The combination of the Harmon Kardon stereo and the 6-speed manual transmission were awesome. I also miss the fact that every time I would drive by another WRX, the other driver and I would flash peace signs at each other. I would love it if fellow Model 3 drivers acknowledged each other while on the road some how...
That said, I do not miss the pollution emitted by the not-so-earth-friendly turbo engine nor the visits to the gas station.
When it breaks, I can get it worked on TODAY at any number of places nearby. I can just call them right up on the phone and somebody answers and everything.
What does that matter when in the back already, and the non T owners surface !
Be an appropriate time to begin legislation to allow all ICE cars to have Antique Car plates on them
