Total Cost Of Ownership: Tesla Model 3 vs. Toyota Camry & Audi A5
Now Loup has updated its comparison.
Using 2019 figures, the new study reached the astonishing conclusion that, when all relevant factors are taken into account,
Model 3, which is indisputably a superior car, is slightly cheaper to own and operate over a 5-year period than Toyota’s mass-market sedan.
When it comes to the purchase price (which, unfortunately, is the only number many car buyers will look at), the Camry still wins hands down.
In fact, the price gap has widened to 59% since 2017 — the cheapest Model 3 you can order online is $38,990 , whereas the Camry LE starts at $24,600.
