YOU'LL BE SURPRISED FOR WHAT CAR AND REASON WE TRADED THE TFL TESLA MODEL 3! - THRIFTY 3 EP. 19

EV Channels Review

The TFLcar team bids farewell to their Tesla Model 3, trading it in for a Model X Long Range. This move, while financially significant due to depreciation and price drops, is driven by a new series focused on the Model X's capabilities in towing, off-roading, and overlanding. The reviewers highlight the Model X's advantages over competitors like the e-tron and i-Pace for these specific use cases, citing its 5,000 lb towing capacity and 9-inch ground clearance. Initial impressions of the Model X reveal a more premium feel than the Model 3, with notable features like automatic doors, a panoramic windshield, and a spacious interior, though some controls feel dated. The team is eager to test the vehicle's real-world performance in extreme conditions, starting with towing a 5,000 lb load up the Ike Gauntlet in their next video.
