I don't get the what the OP is trying to say. Given the choice between a turn of the century economy car or a fairly new pseudo luxury car, I'd go for the latter too. Of course, I'd sell the Tesla and use the cash to buy a nice, well designed PHEV because I spend a LOT of time on the open road under a lot of rough weather.
If I sold the Tesla, it wouldn't be for a PHEV. I had considered a the Focus of that generation. Even test drove a hatchback. Went with a Matrix to try a different brand. Probably wouldn't have been as keen to move on with the Ford. That wagon might have been the last of the non-European options in the US. While a compact, it had the same cargo space as the Rav4 of the time.
I don't have any information about the Ford. I was taking the dogs back to the car and someone parked their car next to mine and left the hood open. In some places, an unattended battery would 'walk off.' Bob Wilson
The best of both worlds! 2018 Ford Focus Electric https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=sbs&id=39640
I have a soft-spot, for well maintained, long-in-the-tooth econo cars. Especially when the owner's kept up the bodywork, waxed and the whole rigamarole.
The focus EV has a whopping range of 76 mi (before capacity degradation begins) & usually no quick charging (unless specially equipped) . Hope your destination is nearby. If it's a cold day & slightly up hill - it better be no farther away than 30 Mi. This old electric version is a great illustration of how much improvement there has been over the past decade. It's exciting to think how it will be in another 10 years. .
Ford didn't limit sales to a few states, you could probably find one close by for sale. Last week I spotted a Fiat 500e with white California HOV stickers just outside Philly, so there is likely even more choices of used EVs for you.
