Like anything it depends what you want. If you ever think you'll be annoyed at having to stop an extra 3x during a trip, for 20 minutes, instead of just bombing through, don't buy an EV unless you have other cars/options. If you can't put a level2 charger (~6-10kw), in your parking spot, don't buy an EV.

The upsides of EV's are well known and numerous, road-tripping and charging without a home charging option are about the only downsides I've noticed so far in 3.5 years and 47000 miles of EV people pod ownership.

And I should note, the reason I bought a Model X was because in December of 2020, it was a cheaper, better-handling, faster-accelerating option than comparable "spicy trim" 7-seaters. Those advantages were enabled by electric drive. Also enabled by shitty build quality and half-assed development decisions, but that's a Tesla "everyone's a beta tester" problem not an EV problem

Having a gas station in your garage kicks ass
The throttle turning into a completely under-the-radar disappear button kicks ass
Frunks kick ass (womp womp, but maybe Neue Klasse will fix this)
$10 a week in fuel kicks ass

But I do wish it were a wagon instead of a goofy lozenge. And I'm cheating, I have an E90M to drive whenever I want to go analog. And, as an aside, EV throttle response beats S65 throttle response, it's like it's wired into your brain, it's amazing. If you like naturally aspirated V8's, the part of your brain that says GO NOW will love electric drive.
