Need Help Choosing My Next Car After Losing My 2023 Hyundai Elantra SEL

Hey everyone, I could really use some advice. I recently lost my 2023 Hyundai Elantra SEL in a car accident. It was on a lease set to end in August 2026, but now I'm in a position where I need to get a new car earlier than planned. I was originally paying $350/month with a $5,000 down payment on the Elantra.

Currently, while I'm waiting for my attorney to deal with everything related to the accident, I don't have enough money to put another $5,000 down. However, I can still manage $350/month for payments.

I'm looking at two options: the 2024 Tesla Model 3 RWD Long Range and the 2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Limited. I’m torn between them:

The Elantra Hybrid Limited offers excellent range and fuel efficiency.

The Tesla Model 3 is attractive for its safety features and Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability.

Given these factors, what would you recommend? Are there other cars I should be considering, or does anyone have experience with these models? I appreciate any input you can provide!
