2021 TESLA MODEL Y SR SOLD

EV Channels Review

The Daily Motor team is selling their 2021 Tesla Model Y Standard Range after just under a year and 19,000 miles. The primary driver for the sale is the current market's appreciated value, allowing them to profit significantly (nearly $10,000) over their purchase price. While they loved the car, citing its fun driving dynamics, futuristic tech, and low running costs (saving approximately $2,000 in gas), they highlight two main drawbacks: the unrealistic EPA range estimates (achieving only about 180 miles on the highway instead of the advertised 244) and the interior's relative lack of refinement, being noisier and less solid than comparable vehicles. Despite these points, the reviewer expresses a strong desire to own another Tesla in the future, appreciating the overall ownership experience and the brand's technology. They are considering the Hyundai Ioniq 5 for their next EV, anticipating better range and a more robust charging network.
