Elizabeth Taylor Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago I drive a 2016 Dodge Journey SXT with the third row, and we're starting to think about what comes after it. We're in Nashville and mostly do city driving plus a couple of road trips a year, so a three-row EV is tempting. I saw online that Tesla has extended Cybertruck production into the summer of 2027, which makes me wonder whether the more practical vehicles get pushed back too. That's really my concern: I can plan around a date if I trust it, but I don't want to hold off replacing the Journey and then find timelines shifting again. We still need room for two kids and occasional grandparents, so a pickup isn't really the answer anyway. For those who've jumped to an EV as a family hauler, did waiting for a promised model pay off, or did you just buy what was on the lot? Curious how others here weighed it.

John/Horace Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago And Journeys no longer made, so a valid question for 3 row members. Nashville has moderate weather compared to Canada; if there is decent charging station coverage and electricity rates ok, ev worth consideration. They are much simpler than HEV or PHEV. Some small gov ev rebates are still available where I am. Range drops drastically from freezing temperatures. My brothers PHEV Volt battery loses around 1/3 during cold winter months. But gas engine means still good enough range. Lower population density affects charger coverage for a lot of countries. I know it's not good enough where I live right now to take an ev plunge. HEV seems to be the only practical option for now; if you can afford it. Gas only is disappearing. My son just bought a 3 row awd HEV for his family. Although pricy, the Sienna is the best option imo in this category. Towing is up to 3,500 pounds in the new version. I drove it for half an hour, decent power and handling, milage is amazing. Smaller battery on HEV not influenced as much by temps I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
