I ended up buying a Model 3 performance so here is my 6 month review: ua-cam.com/video/WwooYtFFMCY/v-deo.html
Thank you for reviewing EV vs ice/hybrid cars! Most reviewers like to pretend no one cross shops and only stick to ev vs ev.
People are now cross shopping EVs vs Hybrids since Hybrid technology has gotten much better lately.
Still the maintenance problem with hybrids. @@jpizel1070 pure EV removes lots of potential problems.
@@jpizel1070Toyota hybrids have been great for like 15+years
@@Jst4vdeosefficiency and quality wise yes. Performance has been an improvement recently
@@edwardmartinez4077 fair
WRX, Prius, and now Camry. Great job providing relevant real world comparisons.
Who daily drives a WRX lol....
Absolutely LOVE the WRX
Thanks!
Thank you! I really appreciate that
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.
So basically the same with a combustion car...no camry can drive 600miles at 70mph+
@@sorinelpustiu5674 yes, but I can just fill it up in a few minutes and continue my journey.
@@HNRichard about the range ok. But Teslas win in everything else. I have a Tesla and a Toyota in my garage. Teslas are incomparable to drive daily
@@YannCavalcante true, I drove a Leaf for daily before so I kinda liked how relaxing it is to daily an EV.
@@sorinelpustiu5674but 2 min refill everywhere
Never would I have ever thought that I would say "wow that's a nice looking Camry". But that looks really nice!
You can't be serious
Camry is super ugly
@@bobbyvetter2514you think the Tesla is better?
This is a tesla channel, don't praise anything but the elonmobiles lmfao
@@flysinsoupthe Tesla shits in the Camry for looks 😂
I would go for Tesla just on this principle. No Dealerships! I Don’t want to waist 4 hrs of my time with a car salesman trying to rip me off. I abhor dealerships. I just want to pay a fair price for a vehicle and leave. So simple with Tesla.
100% agree! I love Tesla's direct 2 consumer approach
Yeah. I visited the showroom last week for a drive. Such a chill experience, no pressure. They let me take it out for 30 minutes on my own.
Yeah gave my friend a ride to the Toyota dealership got there at 3 left at 9:30 way after they had closed he ended up getting a slower less advanced more expensive car then my model 3 that drove us there
then do what i do go to the deallership and said this is my price, DONE. dont say another word. take it or leave it.
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.
200K, congrats!!! Great vid!! Laughing so much through it hits differently still and makes it so much better!
I just picked up my 2024 M3P and it is my favorite car I've ever owned. Effortless acceleration, drives itself, free charging at my job, and tons of great tech (driver profile, dog mode for my dog, fast charging, amazing sound system, list goes on).
Delivery estimate for mine is mid September, i can’t wait
yeah wait 2 year.
You picked up a M3P? You must be very strong 😮
@@dark6c159the power train will be fine, turn signal buttons idk
@@dark6c159what happens in year 2?
Just wanted to clarify the Model 3 RWD weight you stated was for the older NMC RWD standard range model. 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. At most it's like a 5% difference which you won't ever notice
Yes the model3 is one of the lightest evs. It’s why they drive so well.
If you don't need a hatch the Camry is so much better than the Prius. I am not a fan of the glass roof especially in summer. In the end I would want both. Camry for road trips and Tesla for commuting.
Hilarious as usual! Great stuff. I had a Prius base model a couple of months ago while working in Sonoma and in averaged 57 MPG over 480 miles or so and was surprisingly really good.. Toyota definitely knows how to make a hybrid.
still, a M3rwd in similar driving conditions gets up to 170mpg equiv.
Testla vs. Camry road test at 500 miles range, who will arrive at destination first?
Love the comparison videos. Nice work, Gjeebs! I agree with your point on the "excess tire wear". The additional weight from the battery actually is a benefit IMO. Better center of gravity when rippin' it around.
Thank you! and yea the Model 3 feels more agile which I like.
My daughter is still driving her 2005 Toyota Camry bought as a used car from private owner at around 120K miles when she was a freshman in 2018. The Camry has been running like new cars currently around 220K miles with just a few hundred dollars minor repairs. She doesn’t want a new car but rather focuses on getting her graduate degree while working full time as engineer.
Love both cars but there’s only ONE and I repeat ONE reason I bought the Toyota instead of Tesla…
I HATE how cramped it is in the back of the Tesla 3.
If your taller than 5,8 or if your Big Backed or want to drive with friends / carpool. Tesla M3 is not it
Great driver car but back passengers will suffer cramps trust me my cousin has one but do t get me wrong I looove the Tesla 3s front seats
I was just in Canada - I stopped at ON-ROUTE (Rest area), where there were 4 EV charger...i parked my ICE or Acura MDX near by then I saw an EV Volts came and was waiting to be charged as ALL 4 EV stations were full. In meanwhile, i went to restroom, grabbed Tim hortons then left. EV was waiting and smoking an E-cigarette.
I was like wow! unbelievable. Imagine waiting for gas 30 mins and then wait another 30 mins to and hour just to be filled 50-80%?
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.
Don't forget when buying the Camry dealer add ons like etched glass, wheel locks, pin striping, rust proofing, mud flaps, all season floor mats, tinted windows. I sure I'm missing some things.
@@sludog if you heard a term Negotiation you not only take BS charges off also can negotiate below MSRP.
@@8bajwa8 My point exactly. Why do I have waste time to negotiate these BS charges? These charges should never be on the invoice in the first place.
@@sludog ok but you didn't say anything about 3 to 4 k off msrp.
If you can have home charging and you don't do 1000+ mile road trips more than a couple times then get the Tesla. The RWD Long Range model is especially enticing and perfect if you live in the south. Honestly cheaper than a loaded Camry still. Even the AWD model is the same price after the tax credit
Actually for 42K you could get the Performance edition. After tax rebate it's the same price.
If i have a house and garage I'll get an EV living in an apartment id prefer the Camry
Do you have a petrol bowser in your apartment?
@@trafficlawvictoria6614 I had to Google petrol bowser. Thanks for broadening my horizons. I'm not opposed to EVs in fact I'll probably almost definitely get one next year or the year after that but hybrids give great fuel economy
That will be a large portion of Americans
@@trafficlawvictoria6614😂😂😂
Been looking for a video like this forever . Thanks for comparing a hybrid to an electric car
Price of camry is disgusting. No way im paying 40-50k for a Camry 😂
That's for the top of the line flagship trim but I'm right there with you
No one is making you buy a camry.
99% of people will be buying the 28-32k trims
I would take the model 3 any time
The only thing I like about a Camry over a Model 3 is build quality. I love my Model 3 but the rattles are irritating for what you’re paying
Love that color on the Camry!
Life of a Tesla - 9-10 years
Toyota ,- 15-20 years
Who wants to own the same car for 20 years?
6:00 "it'll prolly change twelve times until I post this video" 😂🤣
I love this channel! You’re down to earth!
I love it here on earth
8:13 "Alright, We're cutting that." I literally laughed out loud.
Do you see anything big?
i'll say this again- if you live in an apartment, do not get an EV. supercharging all the time is basically the same price as gas. That battery tank will continue to get smaller- a gas tank will not.
I agree with you.
But most apartment buildings have parking garages with EV charging nowadays
@@bigbadricefarmer absolutely wrong
My apartment has EV charging and in fact, many apartment communities do as well. I'm going with a Tesla Model Y, but like this Camry as well.
@@herewegoagain7403
Depends on where you live. I'm in DC and many communities have EV charging.
I have almost 80k miles on my model 3 long range, 0 issues in 5 years. super quick, amazing speakers, and drives it self
Great vehicles. Both have pros and cons. Longevity, NO COMPARISON. Still driving my 2009 charcoal Camry SE for the last 16 years now @ 270k miles.
Yea I bet once Tesla gets LFP battery technology in 2025 it would easily outlast ANY Toyota and I mean it
@ sure. 2025 is 45 days away.
New camry paint suck
Ya thats b/c its from 2008. Those camrys only had the bare minimum for a car. New camrys are a technology mess.
The Camry has a spare tyre and the other doesn't
Maybe that's why it has a smaller trunk
Of course you won't notice because you always call roadside assistance
Honestly, how often do you get a flat tire these days? It’s been about 10 years for me.
My wife got a flat tire and had no clue how to fix it or if she had a spare tire like you said she called AAA to have discount tire change it.
Find wooooooood 🪵 now!!!!!!!!
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.
You can charge at home and the cost per mile for the Tesla is cheaper. Also refill times don't matter when you can charge at home or have access to a 240V charger nearby.
Tesla owners never have a response about potential EV tax on mileage driven,HELLO!
@johnduck2190 How about the Democrat's plan to tax ICE cars like yours per mile with a "carbon offset tax" to "save the planet" from their global warming hoax? Damn, you just aren't very bright, are you? The Democrats are coming for your gas cars dipstick. They have told you that about a million times but you're too stupid to figure it out! Road tax my ass. The Democrats would tax you every time you went to the bathroom if Republicans hadn't saved your sorry butt from their insane policies!
Just bought a new Toyota Verse. Great classy hybrid comfortable Excellent build quality and guarantee.
"The world is not ideal, but you got to give it your best out there." - Gjeebs the prophet
Also love he just casually says the most unhinged stuff randomly in the most neutral tone 😹 20:29
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.
I have leased an ev and the winter range trauma is what's pushing me back to hybrids. The camry gets 660 miles per tank. 620 miles is not what I've been seeing. I'm ready to stop being so dependent on charging and how is the weather going to affect the fuel I purchased.
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.
You are 100% spot on! I have a 2015 Camry hybrid and the mileage and minimal maintenance cannot be overlooked plus I know I can still drive this car 15 years from now. I love the idea of Tesla but my Camry is just too beneficial right now!
❤❤❤ thanks for an awesome review! I drive an electric bus for work, spending 10-12 hours a day driving f9r over 2 years, happy with it, kinks are gradually getting worked out
if anyone is considering to fully buy these cars, depreciation value for an EV goes down significantly compared to a hybrid camry.
Which is a strong argument to buy a used Tesla. Incredible bang for your buck.
fun fact
2020 M3rwd less than 60k mi go from 20-22k
2020 Camry hybrid less than 60k mi go from 20-24k
edmunds-nationwide
That is, you lose about the same money, less on the Tesla after incentives
doing some actual research, before making claims, would be nice
@@USUG0 let’s be honest here, there’s a way bigger market for toyota buyers and resellers. almost half of EV owners want to switch back to a internal combustion engine. The infrastructure is just not there yet.
@@marcoman9422 of course, making claims based on misleading headlines. The actual estimate is 10% at most, and still debatable. And infrastructure might be an issue only if you drive several hundreds of miles daily. And still the depreciation argument is mostly non existent.
ignorance really is bliss.
Right, because 95% of people get $7500 off. It’s not that the value drops more quickly, it’s that these cars actually cost people 35k instead of 42k.
Best line..'.how many cars have you built ?'
I own two Teslas but I am loving the color on that Toyota. 😊👍
I agree that the Tesla colors are a bit boring so I got mine wrapped and iridescent green and I get more positive feedback from that color than anything I’ve ever done. It’s a total hoot.
@@colingenge9999 I bet that wrap cost quite a bit though.
@@smck20 NZ$5000. But the advantage is that if you get a ding you can just re-wrap that section.
I too have the quack lock sound. It makes my heart happy.
lol can't believe we have this type of comparison. Very interesting. Please do more EV vs Hybrid like this. There is a big market of people who are in the fence between these 2 types. I personally will have my 25 Camry xse delivered next week. But really can't get my eyes of Tesla EV news.
I’m in the market to replace my 2012 v6 Camry. Handing it down to my daughter. Over 40k for AWD XSE or $47k for the new model 3 performance.. easy peasy.. model 3 performance it is for me. Cheaper than a Prius to “fuel” and super car performance.. if Toyota kept the v6 or did a higher performance version I would look harder at the Camry but I’m not downgrading my current 0-60 to upgrade my car
Loved the video man the style is super engaging and conversational! Subscribed!
My new M3P is the best all around car I've ever experienced. No reason to get anything else for a good long while.
Can hardly go camping with it. I'd rather get an Ioniq 5 N. Just my opinion.
@@kiwan5425 wait until the new car appeal wears off for him and he gets sick of the high payments, cost to insure, poor customer service, notorious Tesla issues, the depreciation, and 3+ month wait time to get any bodywork done...

@@kiwan5425 Yes, with 221 miles and about half of that in the winter. LMFAO SMH No thanks!
@@keviinschannel no chance. he probably lives with his parents

I love my 2024 M3 LR AWD....never considered a Toyota..ever. No thanks. Was driving Audi for years, but Tesla just won me over. Bye bye ICE.
Good comparison, A milli is the Jam for the sound test.
I’ll choose the Camry. Toyota is top quality and the range is incredible .
Exactly. I drive LA to Vegas and stopping in 110 degree Barstow for half an hour to charge just isn't fun. I'll take a hybrid or phev over an ev any day.
Charging is a pain in the a** and it’s only getting more expensive .
Gas prices vary but it’s so convenient
Where I live I don’t even need to get out of the car to fill up no extra charge .
As a toyota og and classic mopar owner tesla model y all day it's amazing
After renting a 2025 Camry SE and driving it 500 miles in mixed driving with an average MPG of 52.03, I'm going Camry XLE with Premium Plus package.
It's a good car for people who don't have a single family house.
still burning gas and maintenance. model 3 would be a lot cheaper tco. but i guess people are unwilling to change.
@@rsamd I've got several friend with Tesla's. It's not that I'm not willing to change, its my use case is better served with the Camry, and I prefer the interior of the Camry over the Model 3. It's far less costly to insure a Camry, and a Camry will last me 15-20 years. I keep my cars long term. I work on my own cars, so maintenance is easy for me. We plan on 4-5 long distance road trips a year, many off the beaten path. Don't want to deal with on the road charging and the hassle.
@@rsamd What are those electromagnetic fields from the electric battery doing to your body in the Tesla? I don't want to say this but cancer rates are going to shoot up through the roof in the years to come..
Model 3 loses 50% if it's value in the first year@@rsamd
A monitor at my ankle and breaking my neck to watch anything but “a lot” of technology LoL
Call me old school but I'll stick with the tried and true Camry, thank you very much!
You're old school
Ok boomer
The people above are the most basic tesla fanboys. don't listen to those sheeps
you are just old
@@michaelsi6770 you don’t understand cars do ya?
If you can charge at home you should probably own a Model 3 or Y as your family vehicle. They are at price parity with incentives, charging at home is convenient and economical and road trip charging is quick and easy.
Yeah, the price of supercharging during on peak hours kind of offsets the economy advantage, unfortunately. However, if you charge home or have solar, it's a no brainer.
These two were literally the finalists in my decision making. I went with the Tesla. Pretty happy… so far.
Congratulations 200k🎉🍻
Thank you!
@@Gjeebs You welcome bro!
1m sub your going get that sooner then you think..💪🏾👊🏾
Insurance cost should be included. Insuring the Camry is probably cheaper.
Perhaps not, if the Camry costs more.
My insurance went up $40 a month from my Camry when I got the Tesla
My wife's CRV is currently the same as my MYP, and her car is 6 yrs older. Insurance prices vary greatly.
Thanks for the support!
Mandatory maintenance on the Camry eats that up.
Both these two cars are amazing.
Having owned both, the Tesla is from another century.
We own the Camry and I drive a Tesla at work. That should tell you what I think of Tesla build quality.
if you think build quality matter then maybe. I heard those tesla can't be recharge if the battery got too cold and struck in winter time and the car insurance be expensive as well, not much saving in money if people think tesla saved you on gas. A camry le fwd can saved you gas and cheaper on the car insurance in the long run, not to mentioned the car only cost 29,000 for a base model.
@@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. I’m telling you, I’ve owned both vehicles and there’s no comparison - the Tesla is superior in every way, including performance, safety, comfort, cost of ownership, technology…pretty much everything. The Camry is a great car, but it’s a horse and carriage by comparison.
@@binhbui7079 I heard a bunch of things too, before owning a tesla. Afterwards, I had to unlearn most of it. Worse than lies are the half-truths, like that winter circus.
I prefer polestar or lucid
As of the time of posting the video, the latest FSD updates no longer require wheel nag and instead use attention monitoring. Attention monitoring is currently incompatible with sunglasses, but an update for that is promised soon.
Despite more expensive insurance on evs, I'd tesla over camry any day and I'm not an ev person. Sure camry is reliable, but gosh this thing got a face only mother can love
Saying for years plug in hybrids with range meeting most people’s daily driving needs (commute or errands) is way forward.
Realize this Camry isn’t a plugin- but it’s a great alternative for those not wanting a pure EV yet.
I appreciate your humor. Keep it up!!!
The decibel test was affected by the roof cover (after market) in the Tesla. Glass roof would increase reverberation ✌🏻
Which is the better daily driver? The one you only need to fill up once a week and needn't worry about spending hours to do so regardless of the weather. And the one that can actually be repaired by a technician anywhere you go.
So the Tesla? I charge it once a week at my work that has free chargers and don't need to pay a dime. Gas car for road trips.
Hybrids and mechanics will charge you outrages prices. Camry cost more, have to go to the gas station. Oil change, transmission service, coolant change… a lot more maintenance. Tesla fills up with juice at home. 8 year and 100k mile warranty craps all over Camry warranty
5:00 you nailed that.
Most people will be buying the LE/SE Camry which is much cheaper.
Bottom line: If you have access to charge at home then the Tesla is less expensive and easier for daily driving. If you don' have access to level 2 charging then the price for fuel/electricity is a wash but you will have to charge at a supercharger three times more than going to the gas station and charge for 45 minutes or more per trip to the supercharger. If you don't live near a supercharger and don't have access to home/destination charging (which is a lot of people) then the Tesla isn't an option.
Wait 2025 Camry or 2024 Camry ?
Title says 2025 but you said 2024 in the video 👀
Excellent job on comparing these two cars, sir. My cup of coffee is up to you.😅
We just bought a ‘25 Camry XSE almost exactly the same package just minus cooled seats and sunroof. I can pretty much say the gas mileage listed is not real world for sure (closer to 44mpg or so).
I keep it in ECO mode all the time. Sport mode seems to be most noticeable from a standing start. A side note I will say that the paddles seem a little pointless as it has a CVT transmission.
Unfortunately 3D mats doesn’t have the mats for the ‘25 Camry just yet but they do have it on the future development list based a what they sent to me. They ask that I check back in 4-6 months. I plan on checking back with them.
how is the headrest, is it comfortable I have to go test drive one to see
Thanks for a simple and accurate comparison of fueling costs bt the EV and hybrid
A Camry now costs more than a M3LR? Wow
The 3 LR RWD is $34,990 after tax credit, before fees, with 300+ mile real-world range and surprisingly good acceleration for the price.
Unfortunately not in Canada 😞
@@wyw201Tesla hates Canada 😔
@@Paqza no its not you so wrong
Government subsidies propping up demand. Also, you could drop the trim on the Camry and get the same basic performance for $10k less.
Thank you for creating through analysis video of great cars!
The Camry seems to be last century tech compared to the Tesla.
and itll definitly outlast the tesla
@@johnnyc0811 Will it? Tesla's chassis is built to last 500k miles. Battery 250k. It's just a much simpler design, with 2x less parts. Pollution control parts alone are in the 1000s for the Toyota.
@@johnnyc0811proof?
@@TheCarnivoreHumanwe will see
people used the word "tech" dont know anything about technology. or another things.
you're entertaining and funny lol :D
Tesla's EV engineering is more impressive than Toyota's hybrid system, and the in-car technology is superior. Even its security systems make it one of the least stolen cars in America. I see greater value than what is in the Camry, in spite of high insurance cost.
Shop around, I went from a Honda Civic to a Tesla Model 3 and my insurance went down.
That Toyota would outlast the Tesla, has a more refined interior, doesn’t take 2 hours to fill up (charge), all that while being cheaper.
@@awaisakram8573 Teslas are built to last 500k mile for the chassis and 250k for battery. Takes me 2 seconds to plug in and 2 seconds to unplug each day. Pumping gas is ghetto.
@@TheCarnivoreHuman I respect your optimism but is there even a single Tesla that has made 250k miles on the original battery? I doubt any Tesla car ever made in history has 500k on the dash either while there’s hundreds of Toyotas with those numbers IRL.
@@awaisakram8573 New Toyota's have 1000s of pollution control parts and a sketchy turbo. I have a 25 year old Tacoma, so I know the olds ones last. But it is my last ICE car. My 5 year old Model 3 with 60k has only needed tires and runs like new.
Please review the privacy policies of cars as well. We must hold companies accountable. It is something that most people have no idea what is happening.
Resale value?
50% vs 0 after 5 years
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).
+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.
Why are you comparing a dinasor to a modern car?

I just traded in my 2019 Camry on a Mode Y. Camry is a nice car but Tesla all day
@@qitstrn any regrets?
just got a 24 Model 3 performance i love it and im a muscle car guy .I aint going back best of all worlds
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.
Model 3 RWD, The lightest model 3, weighs 3,891 lb according to Tesla's website. Not sure where you got the 3600 lbs number from.. the Camry XSE weighs 3,682 lb so the model 3 is 209 lb heavier. So the lightest model 3 is at least 200 lb heavier than the heaviest Camry...
He might be thinking of the older Model 3 SR+. From 2019, that car weighed 3,550 lbs.
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! The model 3 is nice, but hard to get in and out comparatively speaking.. thats why i did not go 3. That insurance costs and cost of FSD. Happy with the high tech old man Camry. Especially in the winter!
2 minutes to recharge fuel tank vs 2-3 hours to charge tesla hmmm 300 miles range vs over 600 miles lol range
How bout charging while you sleep and waking up with a full “tank” every single morning? I have never filled up my Camry and said to myself.. welp I have xxx amount of range til the next gas stop. I don’t even know how many miles my 2012 v6 gets out of a tank nor do I care…
@@Jdsmitty10and a lot of places let you charge for Free 🆓
@@Jdsmitty10 And how does one do this when traveling from Reed City Mi to Fort Myers beach FL, not one Tesla charger was near a hotel we stayed at renting one off Turo, Oh and we don't have this where we live, but our friends that live in New York City have to get a permit to install a charger at home and the city won't grant it because it's a "low line pull" area and if they catch you with one you installed yourself, you'll get fined out the a%$. The Tesla has it's advantages and disadvantages, but so does the Camry, we tried it and just didn't work for us, maybe in 10 years we'll try again, but for now we (and a few others we know) cars like the Camry are just better still.
@@joshausterlitz3798 EV’s aren’t for everyone obviously.. They def have disadvantages in situations like you mention. My situation is different as my wife and I have two Toyotas and I’m buying the Tesla as a third car. My daughter turns 16 next week and she will drive my 2012 v6 Camry. I can take a gasser on roadtrips if I don’t want to deal with charging. I own my house and will wire the charger myself like I wired the entire house when I built it. Charging at home is a must for EV for sure. Closest supercharger to me is 45 min away but for my daily commuting and running kids around to activities I drive about 80-120 miles a day so no big deal with 300 mile range for daily use.
@@Jdsmitty10 Wow, driving that much a day, you are going to be sooo happy with your Tesla. Park it and plug it in like a cell phone, and you're done. Repeat daily. Set up the Tesla to charge at low nighttime rates and you'll be seeing huge savings. 100 miles a day average means lots of oil changes and service. Not so much with the Tesla. BTW, the sound system is awesome. Enjoy the future.
The anxiety of having to buy a $20,000 for a replacement battery after 100k miles is a no go for me. New Civic hybrid at 50 mpg is the best buy and battery is a lot cheaper to replace in the future.
I'd go for that Camry, reliability, resale value, 600 mile range, very practical really overall and that color tho.
Do you mean the reliability of having to go back to the dealer every six months get oil changed and so on. First dealership stop for the Tesla is four years after you buy it.
@@colingenge9999 the reason you come in every 6 months are those tire rotation, usually I don't know much about Tesla's and they have bigger tires to compensate for the battery weight which can cause un even wear, and then newer models do 10,000 on oil services. if you think about it they both have their ups and downs
@@JosephIanCKing my Tesla Model Y had tires rotated at 29,000 km after 1.5 years. Weight of vehicle lower than similar size Porsche making tire wear FUD invalid. After 4 years of filling my washer fluid and more tire rotations I have my first visit to the Tesla dealership.
Trust me that ICE car dealers make $0 selling the car and all their profit from your service visits. German car makers will find several $1000 worth of work to do.
Who cares about range on a gas car? Why do people even bring up range on gas vehicles? Range is really only important in EV.. but it makes the Camry sound better I guess
@@Jdsmitty10 range is not even important in most EVS that get around 400 km because you always leave home with the car full and you may have to think about going to a charging station once per year, which is all handled automatically by the car anyway. It’s actually a lot less hassle than, looking for gas stations when you eventually run out.
Apples to apples, I guess. Unless you consider the cost of tires and insurance. The insurance on the Tesla will be way over the Toyota. Maintenance costs I will choose Toyota all day. Oh, last nail in the coffin reseller value on tesla is really bad now.
When it came down to leasing for me, the Model 3 was significantly cheaper. Federal and state incentives certainly help of course. I ended up going with an Ultra Red M3LR. It was about $65 less per month vs a middle trim Camry SE.
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.
Really good review, i think the only reason someone would choose a camry is cuz they dont know about Model 3.
The Camry will last 30 years, the Tesla 5 years. That is the difference.
It’s all good Neil you consider the resale value.

Most people will qualify for the instant $7500 tax rebate, so realistically for the same 42K, you can get the Performance Version with WAY nicer seats, longer range (303 mi), faster charging, Adaptive suspension and 20" wheels!. The Rear Wheel drive version, because it comes with Chinese batteries it does't qualify and it's 33K, BUT the long range version DOES qualify so it's UNDER 30K! To top it off the LR version gets almost 100 miles MORE range (363 mi).
When you test cabin noise you should test it getting up to speed because 70mph cruise might be quieter but it might also make a total racket getting there because of a loud engine. We want to know that because we don’t want our cars making a racket getting up to speed.
People are obsessed with "looks" of the tire than comfort. A tire that size with such a small sidewall is bound to be harsh.
