Acura ZDX or Tesla Model Y

Considering buying my first EV, as i do almost drive 65-70 mile/day. Previously drive 2022 Toyota Higlander Hybrid and have the peace of mind about my car. Just sold with 75k miles with only 15k depreciation from MSRP.

I am considering 2024 Acura ZDX or 2026 Tesla Model Y Juniper but confusing to pick one due to several points.

About Tesla I definitely like to experience the FSD and tesla life, but heard so many issue related to their services and the extra cost of insurance/repair and more importantly the trade-in value. In current market their resale value in brutal and definitely not want to put in a position that after 3-4 years with. 60-75k mile only getting 20k or less.

About ZDX Thinking getting the new electric vehicle which has already depreciated (assuming because getting 70k can in 41k) but no real data to compare. So if after 3 years i sale, will get good value. But the think is ZDX future is unknown, this car comes in 2024, they not produce any in 2025 ... GM/ and Honda's partnership ending but it is coming back in 2026 same. The favor other point is that they have the dealer ship where i can take the car for any repair with peace in mind they will fix it ...also comes good warranty like 100k. But the negative point is I will not able to do the FSD.

Please suggest, specifically owners of zdx.. If they like the car and any downside they experience...
