Has anyone regretted buying a fully electric car?

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?

I mean modern ICE cars can have this same problem.

My boss has a Land Rover that was in the middle of an OTA update at one point in the first few months he owned it. Wouldn't start and appeared basically dead, and he didn't know it was updating. He had it towed to the dealer and it had finished the update by the time it got there.

I would be very, very angry about that.

Enough to brick the car from starting?

I have an older car I don't have any experience with that.

For real. Id like to see any article where an ICE was bricked and couldn't even drive simply by an update.
