What it is

The 2026 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD is a midsize electric car. It sends power to all four wheels through an automatic transmission.

Its listed powertrain is an 88-and-208 kW ACPM 3-Phase electric setup. The defining number for daily planning is its 314-mile EPA range.

The numbers

The EPA rates this Model 3 at 314 miles of range. That is the estimated distance on a full charge under the EPA test cycle.

It returns 111 combined MPGe and uses 30.25 kWh per 100 miles. Those figures let you compare its energy use with other electric cars.

What it costs to run

EPA estimates the yearly electricity cost at $700. Your actual bill depends on the electricity rate and how much you drive.

A 240-volt charge takes 12 hours according to the EPA figure. That time matters if you need to add a full charge on a regular schedule.

How it compares

Use the 314-mile range when comparing this car with other entries in the electric-car range chart. Its 111 MPGe and 30.25 kWh per 100 miles are the efficiency figures to place beside similar models.

For other Tesla models, see the Tesla car list. The electric efficiency chart provides another comparison using MPGe and energy use.

Who it suits

This car suits a driver who wants an electric midsize car with all-wheel drive and enough EPA range for a 314-mile estimate between full charges.

It also fits someone who can plan around a 12-hour 240-volt charging time and wants to track running cost through an EPA estimate of $700 a year.

Trade-offs

All-wheel drive comes with the same 314-mile EPA range listed here, while energy use is 30.25 kWh per 100 miles. Those are the numbers to weigh against your driving needs.

The 12-hour 240-volt charge time requires planning for longer charging sessions. Electricity use and annual cost will vary with local rates and driving.

Verdict

The 2026 Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD centers on a 314-mile EPA range, 111 combined MPGe, and all-wheel drive. It is a sensible match for drivers who can charge on a 240-volt schedule and want a midsize electric car with a clear annual energy estimate of $700. If your routine depends on quick full-charge turnaround, the listed 12-hour charging time deserves close attention before choosing it.
