I guess it depends on how you use it, right? My assumption is that if ~90% of your driving is a commute of, say, <80 miles round trip and you can charge at home, it wouldn't be less convenient than a gas car. Or am I being foolishly naive about EVs? (Of course a used Nissan Leaf could do the same thing at a cheaper price, but I'm assuming the base Model 3 customer would otherwise be leasing something like a base spec 320i).
