EV Channels Review
This episode of Battery Bargains focuses on viewer EV buying dilemmas. The first case explores small, OpenPilot-compatible crossovers, with the Tesla Model Y and VW ID.4 highlighted as strong contenders, though the Chevy Bolt EUV is noted for value. The second case addresses a buyer seeking a Tesla, weighing the Model Y against a used Model X, with the Model Y favored for its value and daily usability. The final and most detailed case features a viewer underwater on a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium RWD Standard Range due to software and support issues. The hosts strongly advise against taking a $6,000 loss, urging the viewer to relentlessly pursue Ford to fix the car under warranty, especially since it should gain Supercharger access via an adapter once Plug & Charge is resolved. A used Model 3 is suggested as a fallback if repairs fail, but the primary recommendation is to get the current vehicle fixed.
