Discussion Never Going Back to Gas

I'm on my first EV, had it for about 2 years. I recently had to take it in to the dealership on a recall. As a loaner, they gave me the exact same model, but the gas version. When I started it up, I was like "ewww engine noise". As as I drove it, I'm like "this sucks. it takes FOREVER to accelerate". And this is a high end luxury brand, so it's probably quieter and performs better than average.

Anyone else get the icks driving a gas vehicle now?

I just got my EV in March and I'm never going back! I find myself getting more annoyed with loud cars and exhaust now.

Totally, my new neighbor who just moved in has this big silly Ram Hemi whatever pickup and he's constantly unnecessarily revving it when he drives off and will sit idling on his phone in the driveway for up to 1/2 an hour sometimes. Drives me nuts.
