I still remember how impressed I was when I was test driving this car. The comfort, the responsiveness and how luxurious the interior was compared to my old Honda HR-V. I thought I would keep driving this car as long as I can until it is time to move on.
Fast forward to 4 years later, I’m still loving this car. But the rise of Tesla and the ability to keep the aircon running when Im waiting in the car is just so nice.
And the problem with ICE car is that, I need to visit the mechanics twice a year for servicing. Im not sure why every time I go for servicing, there will be charges on top of the servicing packages that I have already paid for. I understand it’s all business, but still, it just doesn’t feel good. Not only that, every time the servicing will take almost a day to complete, I will need to rush back and forth between my office and the servicing center to collect my car and then go pick up my kids from school, its really annoying.
Finally, I decided it’s time for me to move on from ICE car to EV. In 2025, there are a lot of EV brands, and i finally settled with Tesla Model Y. The car interior is so minimalistic that it doesn’t feel like a car at all. Some might say why I would “downgrade” from Mercedes to Tesla? To be honest, I dont know is it consider a downgrade. The car may not be as luxurious as Mercedes, but the software it comes with is really feeling like an upgrade. So do I regret making this decision? I dont know yet, maybe in a few years I will change to Mercedes EV, but for now, I enjoy driving my Tesla Model Y.
