One former owner, Reddit user nashifiqbal, made the swift move back to gas-powered cars, car insurance company Jerry reported.
However, the former EV driver revealed there was one gadget which made pulling the plug a difficult decision to make: the vehicle’s autopilot technology.
He wrote: “If you’re a casual driver and you prefer convenience, the Tesla is probably the best bet.
“If you can charge at home, it’s a huge win, you won’t have to go out of your way to get gas regularly.
“It’s got great convenience features and has the power exactly when you want it, which makes it a great highway driver.
“But if you’re an enthusiast or you just like fun driving more, I wouldn’t recommend it.
“You’ll have more fun in a sporty gas car.
“Sure, you’ll pay at the pump, but it’s about the smiles per mile.”
This comes after one Tesla owner lifted the lid on the motor’s major issue which left him stranded for hours.
Elsewhere, an auto enthusiast revealed a convenient feature in his Tesla which comes in handy during the balmy summer months.
