Battery and drive units are already warrantied 8 years/100k miles, right?

Even my RWD (non-LR) came with floor mats. However, I have heard Model 3 RWDs do not!

Craigslist the one that’s not negative. They’ll do much better than Carmax, carvana, etc.

Just another data point but our other car is a BMW and everyone in my family thinks the Model Y seats are more comfortable…

I’m not going to watch that video but I don’t agree with the general assertion. Most (maybe all?) of my friends that have moved to EVs have never reverted back to ICE (or even hybrid). I was chatting with a friend just this AM that just picked up a Highland RWD three weeks ago to test out EVs...
