What it is

This 2025 Tesla Model 3 is a midsize car powered by electricity. It sends power to the rear wheels through an automatic transmission.

The powertrain uses a 192, 213 and 225 kW AC permanent-magnet three-phase motor setup. Its defining EPA figure is a 346-mile range on a full charge.

The numbers

The EPA rates it at 131 MPGe combined. That figure puts its electricity use into the same miles-per-gallon-equivalent scale used for other vehicles.

Energy use is 25.65 kWh per 100 miles. The EPA classifies the car as a Midsize Car, and its range places it in the context of electric cars by range.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates annual fuel cost at $600. That is the yearly electricity-cost figure supplied for this car.

At a 240-volt connection, charging time is listed as 9.5 hours. Your actual bill depends on the electricity rate where you charge.

How it compares

Use the 131 MPGe figure when comparing this Model 3 with other electric cars in the efficiency chart.

Its 346-mile EPA range is the number to set beside other entries in the range chart or other Tesla cars.

Who it suits

This car suits a driver who wants a midsize electric car with a long EPA range and rear-wheel drive.

It also fits drivers who can plan around a 9.5-hour 240-volt charging time and want an EPA annual fuel-cost estimate of $600.

Trade-offs

Electricity use is 25.65 kWh per 100 miles, and the stated 240-volt charge time is 9.5 hours. Charging therefore needs more planning than simply stopping for liquid fuel.

The car is rear-wheel drive and electric, so its range and running-cost figures apply to that specific drivetrain and energy source.

Verdict

The Model 3 Long Range RWD-I is a midsize EV centered on distance: 346 EPA miles per charge and 131 combined MPGe. The EPA’s $600 annual fuel-cost estimate gives its running budget a clear starting point. A 240-volt charge is listed at 9.5 hours, so charging access and timing matter. Choose it when rear-wheel drive, electric power and long certified range fit your routine; look elsewhere if those conditions do not match how you can charge.
