Been going back and forth on this for the better part of a year and finally signed the novated lease paperwork on a Model Y last week, delivery expected October. We're about 20 minutes out of town on a couple of acres, occasional trailer loads of firewood and the odd trip hauling the tinnie down to the coast, plus a run into Launceston every month or so for stuff we can't get locally.
Currently a one-car household, old Territory's going to the wreckers once the Y turns up. Everyone I've read says EVs are fine for daily driving but towing absolutely wrecks the range, and I don't want to be the guy stuck at 40km remaining range towing a trailer down a road with nothing for 60km.
Trying to work out if I actually need to keep something with a tow bar as a backup for the handful of times a year I'd need it, or if renting a ute for those specific days is the more sensible option. Anyone in a similar semi-rural setup who's made the jump to one car and actually regretted it, or not?
