Moving on from Tesla

We decided to sell our Tesla Model Y. It’s been almost 5 years, and it’s (still) an amazing car. My wife, however, wants something more luxurious. As cool of a car as it is, and how well it performs, it’s not luxurious inside. The ride can be stiff, the seats are good, not great, and we’re ready for something else.

We’ve been testing a few different SUVs, as we don’t want anything smaller than the Model Y. We ended up choosing a Lucid Gravity, which feels like an advanced version of a Tesla in many ways. It doesn’t self-drive, but it’s a very, very nice car inside and drives like a computer.

A luxury computer that is very comfortable.

What’s amazing is I listed the Tesla and had 6 people ping me that day for the car. I showed it to one and he liked it, so we’re in the process of getting paperwork done. I haven’t sold a car in a long time that had a loan, and I’m surprised at the weird challenges that this entails.

It’s been 4.8 years with the Model Y and it’s still an amazing car. No real problems with it, it’s performed well, and the battery health is still at 88%. What’s even more amazing is that moving to 18” wheels netted me better performance than I ever had, with my last, around town 200 miles showing 205Wh/mi. Kind of amazing.
