Great perspective on the
Great perspective on the changes to Tesla's ownership experience. I have tested most of the modern PHEVs like the Clarity, RAV4 Prime, Prius Prime, and the Outlander PHEV. All of them operated on EV only. I drove the RAV4 Prime its full 42 miles in EV mode twice without any use of the gas engine. Owners report the same. And do modern PHEVs have all the same downsides of legacy ICE vehicles? They enjoy the same brake wear benefits of BEVs. No timing belts accessory belts, starters, alternators, transfer cases (Crossovers). Join some PHEV clubs and learn from owners how these vehicles operate in the real world and you will see a lot of posts from owners who use them primarily as EVs, but can also enjoy long trips without the need to charge if they so choose. Congrats on both cars, but the Bolt is an amazing deal here in Mass. $125 per month lease is the fixed cost of ownership. They are almost free.
