We had a Tesla Y for 6 months and returned it. I really wanted to me to keep the car. But in the end we couldn’t.

The range was simply not good enough for longer trips. We returned it for a normal car and are quite happy with the range.

Are you a single car family? Until battery tech allows for either huge range or recharging as quickly as a gas car, I still see the utility in owning an EV for commuting and around town and a gas car for road trips. It doesn’t have to be either/or for most.

Yes we are… we live in a big city and can’t afford having two cars due to parking restrictions.

Small commutes are done with our electric bike.
