Trading 2024 Model Y RWD for 2025 Lyriq Luxury or 2024 Wrangler 4xe – Am I Making a Mistake?

Anecdote here. My buddy is a lemon law lawyer. He says the worst vehicles on the road right now are Stellantis (Jeep, Chrysler, etc) plug-in hybrids. Take that for what it’s worth.

Keep the Tesla or get a new one. It's the software experience that makes or breaks an EV in my opinion and nothing matches the Tesla in the US.

It's like a smartphone. Top high-end specs with 960448x zoom to Mars. At the end of the day, people stick to what works best for them daily.

Just my opinion but the two cars you're looking at are some of the most unreliable you will find. Jeeps are consistently at the bottom of all reliability ratings and so are Cadillacs, especially that model.

Idk how anyone can consider a stellantis product at this point. They literally could care less if the car works, they only care if the next quarters profit is good. My buddy bought a Dodge years ago and the trans would randomly blow up, it could even blow up like literally driving off the lot and stellantis knew about it for years and just kept using that trans cause they don't give a fuck.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think you mentioned anywhere the **why** of you wanting to get into a different vehicle. I would 100% not buy either of those options. Why are you considering jumping ship from the Model Y?

What’s wrong with your Y?

I would not trade my Model Y for both of those cars.

Yes.

If you're considering anything made by stellantis then you haven't done all your homework.

Hard pass on either of those! Have you been in a new y?

You are making a huge mistake, especially once you mentioned that FSD is a deal breaker. I think everyone here is scratching their heads thinking? Why are you even considering this and not because we are Tesla Model Y fans, but because you've already pointed out what you live about the Y and it just doesn't make sense why your trying other options that are a downgrade. Btw if a Dealership is offering you a Greta deal for that Model Y, it's because they know what sells and what doesn't and the better the deal you're getting the better they feel they are getting in that deal? In what world do you think that a dealership is going to offer you a Greta deal out of the kindness of their heart. That alone should be a red flag, but you seem to want to give it all up over your definition of more luxury? BTW the options you noted aren't that luxurious to justify what you're losing.

Do not get a 4xe. I have a 2023 and it’s had at least 6 recalls 4 of them being about the battery which most recently called for “do not charge or park your car in a covered garage for risk of fire” something along those lines. My lease is up April and I just got a Tesla. You can visit the Jeep 4xe Reddit sub and see all the problems there.

Yes, you’re making a mistake. And a big one. Since you own a Tesla which is superior in every way.

Do not get those. Get a model y performance 2026.

Call me crazy but I think, among other things, the quality of the drive and the quality of the interior are pretty important for a car.

OP you need to not focus on your wife and toddler while driving, and focus on the road. FSD is not perfect, and FSD clearly tells you to focus and be prepared to take over at a moments notice.

DO NOT BUY STALLANTIS! And be cautious with the Cadillac. I don't think they have all the bugs ironed out yet. It's just me, but I'd keep the Tesla.

rage bait. Go ahead and buy a jeep. lol.

I would get another Model Y before getting either of these (esp. the Jeep). Full disclosure we have a 2026 Model Y LR AWD and a Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk.
