True. I actually use my (electric) leaf blower to clear snow off my driveway as often as my (electric) snow blower.

Pumping gas is HARD!

I love to pull up to the gas pump in the Tesla. People paying attention are looking puzzled. 
Then I take out the gas cans for tractor etc.

I used to do that many years ago with my 69 VW Beedle. I would loudly complain about having to pay $2 to fill the tank when someone next to me was filling a Cadillac and the pump was registering $20I love to pull up to the gas pump in the Tesla. People paying attention are looking puzzled.
As much as electric devices are getting better they aren't ready for snow. I have an electric mower which is just fine. Ego carbon fiber string trimmer with the self-winding (reversing) head that is a major upgrade from any gass one.
When I have too much snow for my Tundra, with the boss plow, 1000lbs of sand, and tire chains, I then fall back to the snowblower.
I have had my Ariens 926 32” Hydro Pro Model 926517. I am in Maine, I have a long steep driveway. After a big storm, I can use a few tanks of gas in the snowblower. I expect that the snowblower will be my last driven item at my house.
Has anybody seen an electric rear tine rototiller?

A grown man bemoaning the struggle of pumping gas. How pathetic. This thread proves true every pejorative stereotype of Tesla owners.

A grown man failing to grasp the concept of humor, and spending his free time trolling online.

Given some simple math, shows the average ICE owner will need to refuel at least once every 10 days (excluding road trips. So that's about 36 trips to a gas station yearly. During that same time frame and mileage, an EV owner will wake up every morning with a FULL charge (or at least 90%) and NEVER have to visit a SuperCharger. So let's assume each refueling trip is about 15 minutes (540 minutes or 9 hours). EV owner = ZERO.
So unless you are taking long road trips an EV owner's life is much nicer than any ICE owner. At least that was my experience when I owned an ICE vehicle alongside our Tesla.
But I get the humor to the OP's post. The struggle for some is real I guess.

Refueling (charging) at home while ya sleep is the good life. PPL won't get "it" until they get it (EV) ironically.

Yep, need to own and charge at home to actually appreciate it. Never need to worry about gas price hikes or lines at the pump during shortages. Never have I seen my electric rates vary except a few percent increase every year or so. Adding electrons becomes a known cost and reliable as heck as opposed to gas which roller coasters depending on the markets.
We do have a whole house automated generator so even in a bind with no utility power for extended periods I could still charge then again it is almost always topped off. I pull into my garage and plug in even if I only took a few percent out of the battery, same goes when pulling into work. Both locations charge @48 amps with a wall connector so easy as pie.

To everyone quoting me and disliking my post, don't get me wrong. I have a 2022 MYP and I absolutely love it. I don't think I could see myself ever buying an ICE vehicle again, a sentiment most users here likely share.

Actually, I fail to read the OP as anything other than being satirical. He exaggerated every ordinary aspect of fueling up at a gas station just so he can achieve a sense of humor. It's better than a lot of the "serious" put-downs of ICE. EVs represent CHANGE, and like every major change in human history, it gets a lot of resistance from the "conservatives" who hate change. Sometimes a little poking back at them is fun and good-natured humor. It's only bad if you think too much into it.
