My FIL passed away about a month ago, and one of the things my MIL brought up within a few days was that she wants to give away his Tesla.
TLDR: They have two teslas, MIL only needs one car, and so she wants someone to take the extra one.
Rest of the story: My FIL was always an early adopter of tech. He was particularly committed to environmental sustainability, and so his home sported early versions of solar panels, and later greywater systems and roof water heating. He believed that we need to do our part to support technologies that tread lightly on the earth, and he had the funds to sink in these projects, so he was an early adopter of the Tesla. I think he bought his Tesla in 2013 or so, and he was so proud of it. It's a model s, and has the trunk seats that make the car a 7 seater. He loved taking it on trips, primarily into the city near his home or up the coast on weekend trips. The car was a major joy, and when he got sick a couple years ago and it became clear he wouldn't be able to drive, he struggled with that a lot.
Cut to now: my FIL passed away a month ago, and my MIL, who had been pushing him to get rid of the car for a year or so, has fixated on it as something she can deal with. My husband has two siblings, and literally within 24 hours of his passing she was asking who wanted the car. One sibling is categorically not interested, and the other seems to not want it (he researched the cost of shipping it to us), which leaves us. We are on the opposite side of the country, and so it would be a decent expense to get it to us. But should we accept it? Is it worth it? Help walk me through the pros and cons.
