2026 Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD Data Assessment

What these numbers mean for this model

This assessment uses the 2026 Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD (Automatic (A1)) specification row: 363 miles rated range, 4.30 mi/kWh, and 75 kWh usable battery. It does not average every trim or model year. Its efficiency score is 96/100 within Sedan peers. Changing the available peer set can change its relative score.

Fuel comparison: Mercedes-Benz E-Class (E350), 27 MPG, in the same Sedan body class. Modeled annual fuel savings are $1,094; negative means the gas rival is cheaper to fuel. This is not an exact trim or purchase-price match. Local rates and charging habits can change the result; use the ownership calculator before making a purchase decision.

Evidence gaps

• Recall records span available model-family records, not verified fleet exposure or complete year coverage. Check your VIN separately; zero stored recalls does not mean none exist.
• No model-specific issue checklist is available; this metric receives a neutral score.
• Battery estimate: 1.5% per year, based on a brand-level fallback, scored neutrally. The underlying curve is not independently verified here.
• Charging speed is modeled from peak power; weather, battery temperature, and the charging curve can produce a different result.
• This assessment remains usable but is excluded from search indexing until model-specific issue and battery evidence and an adequate same-class cohort are available.
