I’ve got gigs of music and rip all my Blu-rays. Jellyfin was a shock! Runs so much smoother, streaming faster. I had no idea streaming over my network can be effectively lag free. It’s also nice having a choice of players, some work better for Android Auto, some better on my Windows desktop etc.

My solar pays off itself by charging my car in only 4 yrs!

My electric ID3 is safer than my previous manual car (Golf). Smart stopping, adjusts to speed limits and cars in front automatically, no roll at all on hill starts, so nice to bring to a stop and go again that I now let so many more people cross / out, acceleration so crazy good that it makes over taking much quicker and easier (critical for where I live), lane detection, sleep protection etc. Generally made me a belter driver, and much more able to focus.

Now I know a lot of that is with modern automatics - but some of it is a pretty uniquely from EV. Not to mention it’s an incredibly fun drive and so responsive.

Bonus - still much better carbon wise than ICE and able to be recycled much better.

Heavier than my Golf? Probably - but weighs less than a ton of SUVs and Range Rovers.
