Farewell

[aa_chow]

Today marks my final day with my 2023 Maverick XLT Hybrid. After picking it up just over 3 years ago in August 2023 and sharing many memorable trips together, it is finally time to say goodbye. It has been an amazing truck, offering incredible fuel economy and utility, and I will miss it dearly.

What are you replacing it with?

 

[aa_chow]

Telsa Model Y.

Though it's not really a replacement. It'll be a different experience.

Good luck with the electric ride.
Be careful where you park....

It'll be a different experience.

Well, you beat the "Understatement of the Year" competition deadline by a couple of months.

Hope you enjoy the new experience as much as the Mav.

EV's have a bit of a tough time up here in the winter with our stretches of negative temperatures. I hope Canada is warmer than Vermont.

Tesla Model Y....hmmm.....did you consider a Mach E? Just curious.

I was waiting for the Model Y to start shipping with the 4680 cells and the Maverick's to start shipping with the Hybrid drivetrain when life changed and I needed my own wheels. PHEV Fusion with less than 6,000 and a nice discount filled my time until my Maverick made it's way to a dealer. Since then I've become less interested in full electric until the grid can support all this electrification (cars, stove tops, and water heaters) being pushed on us Californian's.

The Mach-E was looked at, but at the end of the day it lost out on charge times. The Model Y was the standard everything else I was looking at was held to. I rented a MY for the experience and I had to stop and charge 2 times more (3) than I gas up (1) on my monthly trips.

Eventually I'll go EV like I did on my yard equipment for the reduced maintenance. I'm in no rush since I have my Maverick. For now I'll wait for the grid to catch up and the EVs to improve.

Yes I did. Decided on the Y at the end.

What were the deciding factors? Charge speed? Network access? Style?

I opened up this thread expecting to read how it has been nothing but problems. The Tesla will be a different experience for sure. Considering how much you like the Maverick you should keep it. But I understand money is not unlimited. I hope you are not buying the Tesla to save the planet, because you aren't. Not hating on Tesla or EV, but it is what it is.

Good luck and enjoy the Model Y.
