I decided to replace my internal combustion engine vehicle with a Tesla Model Y after years covering the EV space while working at Teslarati. My 2021 Ford Bronco Sport experienced multiple sensor failures and repeated small repairs that made ownership burdensome and costly. The imminent expiration of the $7,500 tax credit and substantial positive equity in the Bronco made timing compelling. I chose an all-wheel-drive Model Y for Pennsylvania weather and a desire to drive on the beach. I had previously ordered the car and planned to share insights about the trade-in process.
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.
