I can understand why your next one will be electric as pretty much all the benefits you describe are benefits of an EV not a Tesla.

I drive an old beater of a leaf and have the same list

Benefits of specifically Tesla is that they're dirt cheap comparatively, especially if you actually want a car and not some giant honking SUV or pickup truck. You can get a car with a 360+ mile range (3rd parties tested and got slightly more) for ~$35k after federal rebate. No one can compete with that and it's not even close.
