NEED SUGGESTIONS FOR A USED LUXURY EV, MY WIFE HATES OUR TESLA MODEL Y

EV Channels Review

This episode of Battery Bargains tackles three distinct EV purchase dilemmas. The primary focus is on a viewer whose wife dislikes their Tesla Model Y due to its stiff ride and one-pedal driving. The hosts strongly recommend considering the BMW iX, even a used model with a potential lemon law buyback, citing its superior comfort, quietness, and significantly better range compared to the Audi Q4 e-tron. While the Audi e-tron is also discussed, its range limitations, particularly in winter for a Denver-to-Vail trip, are highlighted as a major drawback. The BMW iX is praised for its luxurious feel, driving dynamics, and exceptional highway range, making it the preferred choice for those seeking an upscale experience and willing to spend around $60,000-$66,000 for a nearly new vehicle. The segment also briefly touches on other cases, including a family needing more space and a couple replacing a RAV4 Hybrid, with suggestions like the Volvo XC40 and Hyundai Ioniq 5.
