No one ever does! Myself included, until I was actually driving back from a Model 3 test drive when they first came out, and happened to see one parked out front of the BMW dealer. I had completely forgot they even existed, decided to look it up, found to my surprise it was RWD, and drove back over to test drive one. I bought a 2017 REx a month later and loved it so much I bought my '21 S since I knew they weren’t going to make them anymore. The normal i3 is good, but the S is absolutely the way to go.

And they're in my price range, and they have suicide doors.
You may have just sold me my next car

I might add a couple of suggestions to make things as painless as possible. Get the H&K sound system and Tech package. The tiny screen looks super crappy in such a nice interior and the base sound system SUCKS. No, seriously, it’s absolutely abysmal and is legitimately far worse than the one in my wife’s base Kia Niro. I’m not super snobby when it comes to audio systems and mostly listen to podcasts and such, but it’s barely passable even for that. Second is if you plan on getting a BEV, get one with a heat pump. It makes a massive difference in range even if it doesn’t get super cold where you live.
Also, after having a 33kWh REx and now the larger 42kWh BEV, I don’t miss the REx at all. It’s not a road trip car by any means, but I got it from Atlanta to Detroit with zero issues, it was just a slow trip. I’ve driven it all around MI and done a couple of road trips to Chicago in it, and had zero issues.
