> the Model 3 is smaller in length

The Model 3 long range is almost 1,000 pounds heavier than a Camry, and the Camry has more range (and a faster “charging” time). Interior volume is similar, with a slight advantage to the Camry, though given the Model 3 has smaller exterior dimensions I’d give it the edge there.

“Charging time” is such a bullshit term. EV means everyone has a “petrol pump” in their home. So charge time only matters on long distance driving, and we are talking 30-50 minutes per 400 miles. This just doesn’t feel like a real problem to me.

Who on an 800 mile road trip is upset about a 50 minute stop?

The MSRP of a Camry is less than half that of a model 3 long range.

26000$ vs 57000$
