I casually checked what my current vehicle is worth and am getting exactly the money I paid for when I bought it.. this means I have been using a minivan for free past 3 yrs.. 31k to be precise.. I was thinking about getting a Model Y as it’s got lot of room however the Tesla costs 60k..

My main motivation towards electric was that I am expected to commute ~45 miles a day between kids school and work and spending 250/month for just gas didn’t make sense in the long run..

Thoughts on should I keep the minivan or buy an electric vehicle.. definitely need a bigger car and can’t go for a leaf and budget is <60k

Pls help interms of ROI , maintenance, vehicle performance etc.. #tesla #Investment #auto #commute #ev

    A new Y will probably take at least a few months to be delivered. Don’t forget to factor this into your decision.

      Yes factored that as both of us are wfh and not going back until omicron subsides and we have a paid off sedan for the iterim.. this will be our new family vehicle as the sedan is 12 yrs old and not extremely comfortable for longer rides anymore

      Awesome. I can’t speak for ROI, maintenance, etc. You’ll find much better info about that stuff on the Tesla Forums and Subreddits than on blind.

      I can tell you Teslas are fun cars and if it’s something you think your family and you will enjoy, definitely go for it. YOLO.

    I own a 2015 model S. We were thinking of swapping it for a new model y and I drove a model y, it had the worst build quality. We dropped the idea and kept the model s. I still love Tesla cars, but it's surprisingly poor build quality on model 3 and model y.
