way past this comment at this point, but dug up the towing capacity of the PHEV Escape - rated for an impressive 3500 lbs. Seems to be best in class. RAV4 was only 2500, Model Y was 3200. ________________________________ From: EV <[email protected]> on behalf of J Bills via EV <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2021 11:14 AM To: Electric Vehicle Discussion List <[email protected]>; Peri Hartman <[email protected]> Cc: J Bills <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [EVDL] Tesla Y vs Escape PHEV
I can't seem to find the towing capacity of the Escape. I don't know that I've ever seen a boat behind one of those... might be worth double checking. A lot of people are eyeballing that new Rav4 and comparing to the Escape and Y - and apparently it stacks up very well (to the escape especially). Might be worth a look. ________________________________ From: EV <[email protected]> on behalf of paul dove via EV <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2021 09:22 AM To: Electric Vehicle Discussion List <[email protected]>; Peri Hartman <[email protected]> Cc: paul dove <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [EVDL] Tesla Y vs Escape PHEV I have a friend who owned an Escape PHEV. He loved it. He decided it was getting to old and was in the market for a new car so I let him drive my Model 3. He sold his Escape and bought a 3. He loves it more than the Escape.

Beyond that, I think you are looking at two other primary factors. First, since you are on EVDL, I presume you have strong ethics to use and support EVs. Therefore, if you can afford an EV, I think you should get one. The other factor is cost. I think you can do the math. If you are mostly going to use the new vehicle for short trips, the escape is probably going to be way cheaper, at least for a 10 year cost. After that, you may need to factor in expensive repairs for the escape and battery degradation for the tesla.
