So I was (am) toying with idea of trading my 20 MYP with 11k miles back in after a few months ownership on a bigger SUV more suited for long trips towing. My reasoning was the range on my car is only about 260 but towing or using a bike rack more than cuts that in half and it just doesnt take the place of a SUV hauler like I hoped it could
my wife has a 16 grand Cherokee overland, which also isn’t bigger than the Y inside. While I love the looks of the GJC, is aging and not sure how much longer that will be trouble free… it’s got the air suspension with 18 modes which she never used to go to the mall anyways and that’s a expensive fix if it fails ..
so i could trade in either but the MYP trade right now is more than I even paid for it ! $62k and I think I could get them to $63-64k on trade. That’s insane so I’m tempted to do it. I wonder how well the MYP will still hold resale in a year or so? Any thoughts ?
I drove the Audi SQ7 which has the 500 hp twin turbo v8 and was told by the sales people it’s the absolute rocket ship suv and I’d be so impressed… lol. Honestly it’s a dog compared to the mYP.
I’ll bet my MYP would leave the SQ7 off the horizon in a drag race from any speed to any speed. And even the Audi with the ZF 8 speed trans same as in thr Lambo Urus felt like it took ages to shift. I’m just used to NOT SHIFTING at all lol. At one point at the Audi showroom I was a freakin Tesla sales person, I had a bunch of Audi sales guys gathered around my car and answering questions. I told them just to drive it and they would be amazed but none of them would. They didn’t even drive it to quote me on a trade in.
I think maybe I sell the jeep, keep the Tesla and just buy a normal Q7 to replace jeep.
just rambling here. I’m surprised how owning this Tesla has pretty much ruined even super car SUVs for me now. I wish it had more range but turning it back in is going to be harder than I thought
I just hope when time does come maybe in a year I can still get a lot of resale out of this MYP. It’s clearly not the right car for a family of 5 that needs to tow occasionally, but it’s so much more fun to drive it’s surprisingly hard for me to switch to something more suitable .. somebody must of slipped me some kool aid in my beer as I never thought I’d sh1t talk an Audi SQ7
