As of a week ago, we're now a family of 4. The Mazda CX-5 is adequate for trips around town, but would be a challenge to go camping, and impossible to transport anyone outside of the immediate family.

Was thinking 6 seats as a minimum, 7 preferred. Pacifica plug-in or 7 seat version of Model Y or Model X or Model S. I'll have to see those Teslas in person to get a better feel for them. Probably not getting any new (used) vehicles anytime within the next year or so.

Since the plan likely involves becoming a family of 5, the prudent thing would probably be to just get the Pacifica.
