I&#x27;m a car guy, the type that loves manual transmissions, etc. My &#x27;brand&#x27; is Toyota&#x2F;BMW. I scoffed at electric cars as being even worse than an automatic, all that changed when I stepped into a Tesla.<p>I agree that Tesla&#x27;s are an economic substitute for Toyotas but when you step into a Model S as a car guy you know it&#x27;s different.<p>There&#x27;s only two reasons I didn&#x27;t buy it 1) I love road trips and there&#x27;s one supercharger station in my province, and more importantly 2) I couldn&#x27;t afford it. Tesla&#x27;s are like BMWs you know they aren&#x27;t that reliable, are really expensive, but there&#x27;s nothing like driving one. Like BMW, it&#x27;s a smiles per gallon car you buy it because when you step on it, it goes, not because it gets great gas milage.
