I only spent about an hour and a half on my Camry! It was easy peasy. The roof and rims on the XSE model are incredible. I love this car, and Toyota's are extremely dependable and hold their value. And by God's grace, maybe I will give this car to my grandson.

[@rkgsd]

I own a 2001 Camry. 23 years later, it still runs with 285k original miles albeit with a rebuilt transmission after 180k. My newer addition is a Tesla and although I'm spoiled by the instant torque, speed, no engine noise and the mobile service, I wouldn't rule out going back to a gas Toyota. Much higher resale value too. Note that the range you get on a Tesla isn't even close to what they claim if you drive over 70mph and the range decreases over the years as the battery ages.

The current LFP Model 3 standard range and Model 3 Long Range RWD both weigh 3891 according to Teslas website. Generally Teslas are right on par with the German ICE gas competitors.

Great comparison, I’ve been waiting so long for this match as these are the only 2 cars I would buy for now. All I care about is comfort and quietness which I surprisingly find that the tesla is just as quiet as my camry hybrid. At low speed, tesla’s motor is quieter (no wheeze at all), and there is no buzzing brake actuator noise when coming to a stop. I still prefer the camry’s suspension for comfort but the model 3 is not bad at all and have better body control. There are things I wish could be better on the 3 is: - indicator and gear stalks (bottons are very distracting to use, and if it takes me more than 30mins to get used to, I think it is not a user friendly design. Elon must be planning to make tesla a full-self driving taxi which is why he didn’t care about driver focus) - Steering wheel on model 3 feels like a video game controller. I’m surprise that the camry steering feel is actually pretty good compared to the 3.

[@timgurr1876]

The Camry is much nicer looking. Tesla’s appearance is typically “blah”. The Camry has better access to the trunk (larger opening). MPG is not always the governing factor for purchasing a car. Many people do not have the ability to charge at home. Also, I expect that most states will start charging a mileage/road tax on EV’s to account for charging at home. One can find fuel stations more easily than EV charging stations and the time for refill is much faster.

Nah. Camry looks bloated. Tesla looks sleek and it's so much more fun to drive. I driven them both and it's not even close.

[@kunalmishra9463]

For Teslas -- and indeed most to all new EVs starting in 2025 -- the North American Charging Standard will mean everyone has the same charging port and thus can make use of the comparatively vast Supercharging network. That said, I road trip a decent amount and almost assuredly spend less time at Superchargers in a year than ICE owners spend getting gas, because supercharging is only really required on road trips. 0-50% charging in those cases takes about 10 minutes.

@@binhbui7079 The build quality on my 2023 Model 3 Performance is excellent, and I’ve not had a single scheduled maintenance or warranty claim. I live in Chicago and used the car throughout the winter with the car parked outside in temperatures down to -10°F and I never had a single problem, so that’s total fake news FUD. I expect to spend about $1,000/year on electricity, while most will spend about $2,400/year for fuel - that’s pretty substantial, especially when you factor in the significantly reduced maintenance and operational costs of the Tesla. Lastly, I insure directly through Tesla and it costs less than $100/month for two adult drivers, which is less than it was for our Camry.

[@mrninesixteenth3106]

Sorry for the short book but, I don’t know, I love the Tesla. However, I think if I were buying one of these two. I’d go with the Camry. For the past 10 years the number one best selling car/sedan has been a Toyota. With the exception of 2018, in which it was a Toyota Corolla. The Camry has annually outsold every sedan in the past decade. Theres a reason for that. Well to be fair. The year 2024 is not over but as of July 2024 the Camry is ahead. In addition, Toyota reliability is top notch. Now, that’s not to say they have all been perfect. But,…today Toyota builds 8 of the longest lasting cars (20 years or more) and still on the road today. Will the Teslas be in that top 8? We will see. Also this particular Camry only showed 399 miles to empty but it also showed about 15.4 miles since reset at the time. Not trying to be funny but surely a 2025 four cylinder Toyota Camry Hybrid is capable of the tune of 40+ mpg which will effect the 399 mile range number. The on board computer calculates range based off current driving habits or how it is being driven. Personally, if I’m doing road trips. I would rather have the Camry. 611 miles of range. Ok, EPA is generous. Lets subtract 15% to make it more achievable. So, 519 miles!! Ok for LRM3 RWD. 363 miles. Minus 15% is 309 miles. The Camry gets over 200 miles more. With absolutely no range anxiety, cold weather issues, vampire drain, damaged or over crowded chargers. Sure the Tesla Tech is superior, less maintenance, and very modern. To be fair usually Toyota gives you the first 2 services free. So that takes care of the first 2 years of ownership. There’s just oil changes anyway so why not. Right? Anyway for me, the Toyota dependability/reliability, usefulness, and long lasting quality can not be overlooked. The Tesla may experience battery degradation and lose range by 100-200k mile mark. Range you can’t get back without replacing the battery or an OTA update. The Toyota will require 4 spark plugs and range returns. I can fill the Toyota up past full (with 1-3 gallons extra in the tube) on a normal basis without harming it. I can let the Toyota sit with a full tank of gas and not lose range if I park it for a month. Tesla says on a normal basis you should charge to what? 80%? Then not deplete the battery below 20%. In affect that’s only 60% of rated 363 miles of range or about 218 miles. The Camry Hybrid is 611 miles combined, City/Hwy. I can in contrast fill it up to 100%+ capacity and drain it to 5% every time. Utilizing 95% of it’s 13 gallon fuel capacity. Our governments are pushing EV’s on us. What they should have done was take baby steps and push hybrids first. Sorry for the short book.

I let my model 3 sit in my garage for 2 weeks. Lost 1% battery. It’s not really a big deal letting the car just sit there not plugged in for extended periods of time. But I do see why people would pick the Camry. Toyota name with 600mile range is a recipe for success.

+1 for reviewing ICE vehicle vs EV. I would love to see cost after maintenance comparison, PLUS the cost & TIME we lose even if doing our own maintenance. EVs don’t need motor/transmission oil/filter changes, but battery degradation, long charge times, and go through tires faster. Even if you do your own oil changes, it’s still $4/quart motor oil (Costco) PLUS time and the quart of oil consumption every 3k-4k miles from low tension piston rings. Oil filter $9-$12 (even if changing filter every other interval). Transmission oil/filter is another variable if owner goes through dealer for parts.

The range comparisons are a little misleading the Camry has twice the range therefore the Tesla would have to fill up twice to get the same range as the Toyota. Furthermore most ppl don’t fully charge or fully deplete their Tesla’s batteries, this too is another issue when comparing range.

The options in my 25 Camry XLE cost 41,800 including AWD. in an SUV the same exact options are 50-55k. The Camry is a bargain!

According to the UK AA, in 2024 a new ICE car will lose around 60% after its first three years at a mileage of 10,000 miles a year. The Tesla Model X after three years loses only 43%. Model 3 is one of the brand’s best for withstanding EV depreciation at 40% after three years.Tesla Model Y retains 76% of its value after a year and a half. A Tesla will outlast the 133k miles average ICE (iSeeCars) by 2-3 times (Dutch/Belgium Tesla mileage database).

[@_dmfd]

I personally think for the time being, an EV is a good lease choice for someone who isnt gonna road trip/ just wants quick acceleration & something different & an hybrid is the a better choice for an daily driver/ single car person etc. Hybrids are getting better with power output as well but for me I'm fine with just my 3 ICE cars a 2024 Audi Allroad Prestige, 2022 Ram 1500 E Torque (these are both mild hybrids but fr thats just stop start stuff) & my 2018 GT Sport. Allroad is 263hp 5s 0-60, Ram is 305hp 6.8s 0-60, & GT Sport 201hp 6.3s 0-60 which all are good enough numbers for dailying, & all get roughly 300 miles to a tank.
