EV Channels Review
This episode of Battery Bargains tackles three distinct EV recommendation requests. The first, for Sid, involves choosing between a used 2016 Model S 90D, a 2020 Model Y Long Range, and a 2018 Model 3 Long Range RWD. The hosts lean towards the Model 3 Long Range RWD due to its warranty, lower mileage, and overall value proposition, despite acknowledging the Model S's performance appeal and the Model Y's practicality. For Scott's fleet replacement needs, the primary challenge is the Ford F-450, for which no direct EV equivalent exists, with the Hummer EV and Silverado EV being discussed as potential, albeit imperfect, alternatives for other trucks. The final case focuses on Shahad's desire to upgrade to a Model Y. The advice centers on timing purchases for the best deals, emphasizing end-of-quarter and end-of-year sales, and considering potential discounts or incentives related to upcoming refreshes like the 'Juniper' update.
