"I recently decided, after a variety of things, that I was going to trade in my internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle for a new Tesla Model Y. It was a long time coming. After working at Teslarati for six years and covering the EV space nearly every single day (I recently published my 5,000th article on here), I figured it was time to make a switch."
"My 2021 Ford Bronco Sport had been experiencing a number of issues, none major, but numerous sensor replacements. It was an affordable and fun car, but after fixing the Tire Pressure Monitoring System in the front right tire, an EVAP switch valve in the motor two months ago, and some other things, the Bronco became more of a chore (and a drain on my wallet) than anything."
"With the timing of the $7,500 tax credit expiring and a substantial amount of positive equity in my Bronco, I knew it was time. My experience was excellent, but I would like to share some insights with our readers about the entire process, which may also help you make the jump. Others were more of a one-time thing, as they were things customers would only deal with as the tax credit went away."
After six years covering electric vehicles at Teslarati and publishing 5,000 articles, the owner decided to replace a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport with a Tesla Model Y. The Bronco suffered multiple sensor replacements, a front-right Tire Pressure Monitoring System repair, an EVAP switch valve replacement, and other fixes that increased cost and inconvenience. The impending expiration of the $7,500 federal tax credit and substantial positive trade equity made timing advantageous. The Model Y was chosen for its all-wheel-drive capability suited to Pennsylvania weather and for recreational beach use, with a preference over the Model 3.
