However, customers have frequently told of their difficulties in finding spots to charge and the unexpected, untold costs of electric cars. TikToker Madison agrees with these complaints and shared how her personal experience with an EV did not live up to the dream she was sold. In the video , she caveats her complaints by stating that she "loved" having a Tesla - "they're so smart, they are the iPhones of cars." The TikToker gushes over their clever functions like pre-set heating, lane change assist, blind spot cameras and keyless entry. Yet, she was frustrated by the frequency her EV needed to be charged.

"It's stressful," she says, particularly when she was "alone and in an unfamiliar road and knowing its a possibility I could run out of charge".
