Hi Mark,
The Tesla is the safest car on the market. I have seen videos of
horrendous crashes from which the Tesla occupants walked away. You say
your wife has trouble driving, which may make it more likely she would
have an accident. Consider whether disconnecting the boat is more
important than your wife surviving a crash.

Hi
I’m having trouble deciding between a Ford Escape PHEV (37 miles EV range)
$32k-6.8kFed or a Tesla-Y $50k (316 Mile range) The Tesla has auto driving
capability, can be added anytime for an additional $10k (As full capability is
added) since My wife has trouble driving now and won’t drive at all at night.
I drive her to work. The Tesla has lower maintenance but is pricey. I ordered
the Ford in October and thought it was made of Unobtanium but got a dealer
paper saying they’d make it iN Louisville April 19thweek. So I’d have to cancel
the Ford order if I bought the Tesla. The only inconvenience with the Tesla is
all fast charging stations are along a wall so you’d have to disconnect the
boat to charge whereas gas pumps are pull through to accommodate trailers.
That would probably just be an issue if trying to trailer the boat a long
distance (and the range half).
Best regards
Mark
