I need a new car, and I really want to go full electric. I'm wondering if anyone regrets buying one? What are the downsides?

Not yet, but are there any electric cars that aren't spyware with touchscreens on wheels?

lol. As opposed to the 6 inch rectangle in your pocket

I would argue all connected cars have become that. If you're buying anything newer than 2015, in all likelihood it's a spyware filled go-kart.

I'm driving a 2007 which I guess I'll move on from in a couple of years. I loathe the day when my only options are cars that get OTA updates.

Everything smart has shown their true colours about altering the deal. My TV didn't use to have ads on the home screen. Now it's 80% of it.
