Most EV drivers are also paying a lot more for their transportation when the entire lifetime of the investment is considered. Subpar EVs are being sold for hefty premium.

What is most criminal, though, is that EVs are driving degeneration of car development. It is Tesla's example that has seen the introduction of large screens, that are completely unusable while driving (using windshield vipers through a screen, hello??). Nothing gets more redundant and old faster than electronics. I could maybe overlook an exterior design like Tesla's, which is stuck in the year 2015, but the trend with screens is awful. The new BMW iDrive 8 is such a step back in terms of usability, as per all reviewers, with its ugly curved screen. And don't get me started on how BMW EVs or sandwich shaped Mercedes EVs look from the outside...just fugly hideous.

From day one, the Tesla was dubbed the Rolling iPad. It is anything but a driving enthusiast's car.
