Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD vs Toyota Camry TRD FWD

The Tesla Model 3 may be one of the brand’s more affordable models, but it still offers better range, acceleration, and tech than many other electric cars. It’s such a popular model in Tesla’s catalog that the automaker has at times had to stop taking orders for the car to catch up with demand. The Model 3 Long Range offers 358 miles of range, fast charging on Tesla’s proprietary Supercharger network, and advanced tech that goes above and beyond the features offered by other automakers. On the other hand, the Toyota Camry TRD livens up the brand’s bread-and-butter sedan with larger wheels, better tires, a cat-back dual exhaust, suspension upgrades, and beefier brakes. The TRD also provides a much bolder exterior appearance, with spoilers and red brake calipers, along with a sportier interior than you’d think possible in a Camry.
