I agree. I found range anxiety to be a fear but not for long trips as the wife has an SUV for that, but rather back roading and driving the car hard. When pushing the car hard range can easily drop, and where I go back roading there are mountains, elevation changes, high speed curves and stretches as well as no nearby chargers and a ton of different factors that can effect range negatively. While the area I backroad in is only an hour from the house, the amount of miles just to get there, then push the car, and then get back home could easily complicate things, especially with Electrify America chargers being sparse and unreliable in my area.

Add to the fact that I still don't care much for not having a gearbox to engage with or sound to listen to (not a fan of the fake exhaust) it wouldn't be as enjoyable. I still find EV's to be better as everyday commuters rather than fun and sporty cars, at least for my needs.
Well said
