Yep, we thought we'd better get one now before its too late (...in our 70s).

In motoring terms, its not an automatic because it doesn't even have a gearbox, its direct drive.

Things to get used to:-
- because its direct drive, the whole speed range (0 - 115mph) is under your right foot. So I still find holding-a-speed tricky, but the cruise control is so easy, I use it all the time.
- square-ish steering wheel.
- finding your way around the display screens
- parking cameras; do I look out of the windows, look in the mirrors, watch the camera screen?
- breath-taking acceleration
- public charging: honestly, its a non-issue
- where to find the dip stick

Just have electric fun.
Oh , and if you find a dipstick mount it in a mahogany frame and hang it over the mantlepiece as the one that got away

Yes, you set up a main account, then a secondary.
