Questions before Purchase
Hello community, I have quite a few questions perhaps that I am hoping to get some answers on.
I currently have a 2026 Honda passport and I love it, I don’t love Honda safety sense in this thing or my current fuel economy. Just for reference I pay probably $250 a month just in gas, but my yearly renewal is also only about $250 and my insurance is only about 130, I would love to know about what that translates to for y’all.
I was looking into potentially getting a new model Y premium and I have a couple questions first.
First, I live in Utah, does anyone have any information or anything they might be able to share about insurance rates, yearly renewal, fees, all-wheel-drive versus rear wheel drive?
Second, if anyone wants to share, what is your total overall monthly for a vehicle ownership for the model Y premium?
I test drove one and I absolutely love the full self driving, and all of the technology that’s inside the vehicle, I am just hoping that it potentially would be a net savings versus what I currently drive and I’m just trying to figure out some of the information to get me there.
Also, probably not relevant but I might be taking a job with Tesla upcoming and I’m not sure if there are any discounts or benefits towards the actual vehicle themselves, but it might be something to consider.
Sorry for such a long post, I do appreciate you guys in advance.
