Some of you might have seen my posting that I negotiated a 2023 SV Plus and trade my 2020 SL Plus. After tax credit the trade will cost me $623 total
Well yesterday I test drove a Tesla Model Y. I was very impressed. I had a deposit on the original Model 3 when it came out but after test driving it I decided I was "too big" for the car. The Model Y fits me perfectly. It was very comfortable, roomy, and FAST!
So after I used the internet to buy my almost weekly Amazon stuff I went over to the Tesla web site and just as easily I ordered a Tesla Model Y with a $250 order fee on Apple Pay. Tesla whould qualify for tax credit next year. Delivery is expected Dec-April. I will not accept it in December but delay it to January if it comes in early
Now my dilemma is which car do i replace with the Model Y, my 2023 Leaf SV Plus or my low mileage Lexus RC450h?
To make things more confusing I detailed the interior of my 2020 SL Plus today. It is perfect and beautiful. Now I am wondering do I just keep it and not get the 2023 SV?
The only down side of the SV is the cloth seats with my 2 dogs. The SL Plus seats cleaned up perfectly. The dog hair vacuumed up easily off he seats. The dog slobber was gone on the seats with a damp cloth followed by a buffing with a dry towel How will the cloth seat in a SV do with my 2 dogs?
So with the 300+ mile range and extensive supercharger network I am not concerned about not owning a ICE vehicle for a backup to the EV. I also have a 2020 Ford F-350 which is used primarily to tow our 5th wheel. In a a pinch if both EVs are out of charge and the electric grid is down I could use the F-350
The Leaf is the prefect car for for local trips less than 180 mile round trip. The Tesla will be used to commute the 125 miles to our weekend cabin more comfortably that our Leaf, which is a bit cramped with full truck, 2 dogs and a parrot in the back seat and wife an I up front.
So my question to the group is:
which 2 cars would you recommend that i keep.
Option 1:
Tesla Model Y
2023 SV Plus with 0 miles
Option 2:
Tesla Model Y
2020 SL Plus with 16,000 miles
Option 3:
Tesla Model Y
2015 Lexus RX450h Hybrid with 25,000 miles.
