I own a Tesla Model Y. Bought it in March of 2021 for my wife. She drives it to work most days and loves it. I drive it whenever it is available and enjoy it. It has been used before to pull my 21ft off-shore fishing boat and did very well though range was reduced about 60%. Traveling with it has not been an issue. 18,000 miles and no issues so far. I sure would love to have its AWD system in my pickup for pulling trailers but it probably isn't the best for rock crawling.
The price has gone up about $17,000 since I bought it, due mostly to supply and demand. I don't think that I would pay the current price for it but as the new factories crank up I expect the the supply/demand ratio to change and prices to come back down some.
I am planning to trade my 2016 F150 for a new hybrid version soon. I don't have a reservation in for a Tesla pickup and don't want to wait that long. My trailer would be pretty hard on the battery anyway. Like some others I have switched to battery powered yard tools-string trimmer, limb pruner, blower and chainsaw. I went with a 60V Pro system and it is very impressive. Starts every time with just a push of a button and no noise or smoke.
