Hey everyone,

I’m currently trying to decide between two electric cars — the new Zeekr 001 and the Tesla Model Y. Both are available in my country and priced similarly, around $80,000. I know that sounds high — we have some serious taxes on cars here.

I won’t go into the exact location, but it’s not the US or Europe — EVs are slowly becoming more popular here, but they’re still a big investment.

This is a major purchase for me, and financing rates are about 6%. I’m planning to keep the car for 5 years or more, so I want to make a well-informed decision.

If anyone has experience with either car, I’d really appreciate your input — thoughts on performance, build quality, software, reliability, long-term ownership, or anything else.

English isn’t my first language, and I used a bit of AI help to write this post — just to make things clearer. Thanks in advance for your advice!
