54. I currently own a Model Y and it's far and away

Jun 2022

The best car I have ever owned. When the time comes, I will compare all other EVs on the market before making an informed choice as to the the highest quality and affordability for its replacement. Elon Musk's politics may be an element in weighing options, but I will definitely be going electric again. YMMV.
