I put the summer tires back on our X1 which meant that for the first time in almost 8 weeks I had to drive it. I thought I& #39;d take advantage of the cheap gas prices right now and fill it up: $39 for half a tank (about 250 km).

That& #39;s more that we& #39;ve spent to "fuel" our @Tesla Model 3 in the 9,500 km we& #39;re had it (including a road trip to San Francisco and back)! But the main point of this thread is to say how, umm, backwards, it felt to drive the X1 after driving the Model 3 exclusively for 8 weeks.

In addition to the instant acceleration (much to the chagrin of some yahoos trying to race me in their BMW 3 series!)and other obvious benefits, I& #39;d forgotten how NOISY ICEVs are, even when idling. What a cacophonous racket! Not to mention the vibration and general clunkiness.

The bottom line is this: once you drive an EV, it& #39;s hard to go back to legacy ICEVs. The day when we can sell our X1 and buy a @Tesla Model Y can& #39;t come soon enough!
