I need a new car, and I really want to go full electric. I’m wondering if anyone regrets buying one? What are the downsides?

What I don’t like is that it’s a steaming heap of spy-ware on wheels with no opt-out ability. Which may lead to more expensive insurance depending on your driving style, or could be abused for even more nefarious reasons.
