I live out in the country and have 3 vehicles for my wife and I to use for daily driving. I am excluding the motorhome and the pickup that spends most of its time hooked up to my equipment trailer. One of the three vehicles is a Model Y and we really enjoy it. My wife likes driving it to work and never having to stop for gas. She uses the home charger that I installed and starts most every day with a full charge.
My equipment trailer is used mostly within 60 miles of home. When an affordable electric vehicle that would comfortably make the round trip with the trailer becomes available I will consider replacing the PU that I am using now. I realize that this is a camping column and campers need a much longer range but I suspect that a lot of contractors are in my situation. I do use my Model Y to pull my boat but a 90 mile round trip is about the most that I can do with it. Otherwise, it actually pulls better than my pickup.
Range has rarely been an issue and many charge stations have been added since I bought the Model Y so that is quickly becoming a non-issue around here.
My other two vehicles are an old Ford Ranger and an old minivan. Both fill unique niches in my needs and are handy to have around but neither gets used very much. We always drive the Tesla if it meets the needs of the trip.
