A “Tech Friday” financial thank you to Drew and KeySavvy
Posted By RichC on December 26, 2025
One of the highlights of 2025 on the automotive front, and as a car enthusiast, was making a solid financial move in selling Brenda’s 2010 Acura RDX and buying a very clean 2019 Tesla Model 3. 
The “key” was to purchase it from a known seller and before the end of September using KeySavvy. This was in order to lock in the “used EV” tax credit before it expired. The commendation goes Drew, as he just happened to be upgrading his Model 3 to a slightly larger Tesla Model S Performance model and knew about KeySavvy (therefore a Tech Friday post — I know, a stretch). For him, the new car was a “good deal” and gives him more room for girls, along with a bigger battery and better range — perhaps the only drawback with the Model 3 SR. On the other hand, he gave us a good deal too. As far as the car itself, I’ve never seen Brenda happier with a car … so it was definitely a win all the way around!
On a side note, as someone who spends time as a Barron’s Advisor member (a group of financial planners), putting this in motion in August-September gave me time to crunch the numbers and make it work well for us. In fact, it worked out so well that I was able to add extra dollars to my granddaughters UTMA accounts this year.
And as an added bonus KeySavvy sent me a T-Shirt! A WIN, WIN, WIN, WIN. 😉
