Waiting for my first EV, MY. Perhaps one of the bigger motivation for me is the convenience of not going to gas station every week. For some I reason I really dislike that chore.

While this will be my first Tesla, my Pacifica plug in hybrid got me hooked on electric (~75% of our miles are pure electric). Yeah, not pumping gas is nice, but there are bigger advantages you'll soon enjoy, such as:
1. Immediate power
2. Regen beaking - It bugs me to just miss a light or stop on a downhill with an ICE - making all of that wasted heat...
3. Full power AC when idling
4. Near instant heat
5. Being able to park and wait with climate control
6. Quiet
7. Fewer things to go wrong and wear out (engine, belts, belt-driven accessories, transmission, brakes, timing chain, spark plugs, etc.)
8. Adaptive cruise works so, so much better because of 1 & 2. (This adds a lot in stop and go traffic.)
Electric is just a far better driving experience.
