AN EV driver has revealed three key things he hates about his Tesla, saying you have to be 6ft tall to use a nifty button.
Joe Fay took to YouTube to explain why owning an electric car isn’t all he hoped it would be.

He walked viewers through some of his pet peeves about his Tesla Model X.
The model retails from between £73,135 to £148,405 depending on spec.
But there are a couple of things that Joe feels just aren’t worth the money.
First of all, he expressed his frustration that the car can only be charged from one side.
The charging port is located behind a light panel on the left-hand panel of the boot.
He claimed that the placement causes him problems as, when he backs into his garage, his home charger is on the right-hand side.
This means he has to pull the cable all the way around the rear of the car to reach the socket.
Not only is this irritating, but it also means a larger length of cable draped across his parking space, which is both unsightly and a potential trip hazard.
Next he took aim at the car’s spoiler, which cannot be adjusted and sits parallel to the boot lid.
Joe said: “I just don’t really like how this spoiler is fixed.
“It doesn’t go up or down.
“It’s just always up like that.”
Finally, he criticised the placement of the button that automatically closes quirky gullwing doors.
The switch is located on the rim of the door, which lifts high into the air when they are open.
According to Joe this makes it hard to reach if you’re under 6ft tall and, while there is a backup button on the frame of the car, it still irritates him.
However, he did approve of a neat feature that allows you to close all the doors at the same time by pressing the top of the key fob.
Social media commenters were less sympathetic to Joe’s complaints though.
One wrote: “Literally the dumbest complaints I’ve ever heard.”
Another added: “I couldn’t have found a better example of first world problems.”
It comes after a driver who bought a £52,000 EV slammed the UK’s largest charging hub as a “nightmare” to find.
Meanwhile, a car expert revealed how a 55p B&M essential can make cleaning your motor much easier.
