I NEED TO REPLACE MY TESLA MODEL 3 AND TOYOTA TUNDRA WITH A SINGLE EV

EV Channels Review

This episode of Battery Bargains tackles three distinct EV purchase dilemmas. The first case focuses on a viewer replacing a Lexus ES350, with a strong leaning towards a Tesla Model S Long Range due to its range, efficiency, and charging network, despite concerns about build quality. The consensus leans towards the Model S, with suggestions to consider used models and the Model X for its superior interior experience and visibility, though it is an SUV. The second case involves a family considering a Rivian R1S, weighing new vs. used options and the impact of upcoming battery updates. The advice leans towards the dual-motor R1S with the large battery pack, but also strongly suggests considering the Kia EV9 as a compelling alternative. The final case presents a viewer looking to replace a Tesla Model 3 and Toyota Tundra with a single vehicle capable of towing a track car. The Rivian R1T is a strong contender, praised for its sporty driving dynamics, but the Ram Charger is highlighted as a potentially ideal, albeit first-generation, solution for towing needs, especially given the user's flexible timeline and infrequent towing requirement. The episode emphasizes the current volatility of EV resale values, advising viewers to leverage the used market.
