About two months ago, no power when stepping on the gas when in EV Off mode. When in EV mode, no issues and car drives regularly. Been using it to commute to work, charging and driving back. Get about 17 miles of EV range. Mechanics say it’s the catalytic converter and will be around $2500. Car has about 80K miles on the odometer. So far no mechanic wants to handle the amount of work, and one even stated it was the transmission and wanted to charge me $8K to fix it. Not sure how long I can keep doing the dance I’m doing, especially when the EV range is cut in half in the winter. Or do I sell it to Carvana or something and get a used Tesla or something? Really don’t want to spend money on a “new to me” car, but don’t know if this is the beginning of the perpetual breakdown of the car and I’m spending money every other month on a new issue.
