I would go for Tesla just on this principle. No Dealerships! I Don’t want to waist 4 hrs of my time with a car salesman trying to rip me off. I abhor dealerships. I just want to pay a fair price for a vehicle and leave. So simple with Tesla.
Yeah gave my friend a ride to the Toyota dealership got there at 3 left at 9:30 way after they had closed he ended up getting a slower less advanced more expensive car then my model 3 that drove us there
I only spent about an hour and a half on my Camry! It was easy peasy. The roof and rims on the XSE model are incredible. I love this car, and Toyota's are extremely dependable and hold their value. And by God's grace, maybe I will give this car to my grandson.
I just picked up my 2024 M3P and it is my favorite car I've ever owned. Effortless acceleration, drives itself, free charging at my job, and tons of great tech (driver profile, dog mode for my dog, fast charging, amazing sound system, list goes on).
I own a 2001 Camry. 23 years later, it still runs with 285k original miles albeit with a rebuilt transmission after 180k. My newer addition is a Tesla and although I'm spoiled by the instant torque, speed, no engine noise and the mobile service, I wouldn't rule out going back to a gas Toyota. Much higher resale value too. Note that the range you get on a Tesla isn't even close to what they claim if you drive over 70mph.
@@trafficlawvictoria6614 I had to Google petrol bowser. Thanks for broadening my horizons. I'm not opposed to EVs in fact I'll probably almost definitely get one next year or the year after that but hybrids give great fuel economy
Just wanted to clarify the Model 3 RWD weight you stated was for the older NMC RWD standard range model. The current LFP Model 3 standard range and Model 3 Long Range RWD both weigh 3891 according to Teslas website. Generally Teslas are right on par with the German ICE gas competitors. At most it's like a 5% difference which you won't ever notice
If you don't need a hatch the Camry is so much better than the Prius. I am not a fan of the glass roof especially in summer. In the end I would want both. Camry for road trips and Tesla for commuting.
Hilarious as usual! Great stuff. I had a Prius base model a couple of months ago while working in Sonoma and in averaged 57 MPG over 480 miles or so and was surprisingly really good.. Toyota definitely knows how to make a hybrid.
If you can have home charging and you don't do 1000+ mile road trips more than a couple times then get the Tesla. The RWD Long Range model is especially enticing and perfect if you live in the south. Honestly cheaper than a loaded Camry still. Even the AWD model is the same price after the tax credit
If you can charge at home you should probably own a Model 3 or Y as your family vehicle. They are at price parity with incentives, charging at home is convenient and economical and road trip charging is quick and easy.
Yeah, the price of supercharging during on peak hours kind of offsets the economy advantage, unfortunately. However, if you charge home or have solar, it's a no brainer.
Great comparison, I’ve been waiting so long for this match as these are the only 2 cars I would buy for now. All I care about is comfort and quietness which I surprisingly find that the tesla is just as quiet as my camry hybrid. At low speed, tesla’s motor is quieter (no wheeze at all), and there is no buzzing brake actuator noise when coming to a stop. I still prefer the camry’s suspension for comfort but the model 3 is not bad at all and have better body control. There are things I wish could be better on the 3 is: - indicator and gear stalks (bottons are very distracting to use, and if it takes me more than 30mins to get used to, I think it is not a user friendly design. Elon must be planning to make tesla a full-self driving taxi which is why he didn’t care about driver focus) - Steering wheel on model 3 feels like a video game controller. I’m surprise that the camry steering feel is actually pretty good compared to the 3.
The Camry has a spare tyre and the other doesn't Maybe that's why it has a smaller trunk Of course you won't notice because you always call roadside assistance
Love the comparison videos. Nice work, Gjeebs! I agree with your point on the "excess tire wear". The additional weight from the battery actually is a benefit IMO. Better center of gravity when rippin' it around.
i'll say this again- if you live in an apartment, do not get an EV. supercharging all the time is basically the same price as gas. That battery tank will continue to get smaller- a gas tank will not.
Don't forget when buying the Camry dealer add ons like etched glass, wheel locks, pin striping, rust proofing, mud flaps, all season floor mats, tinted windows. I sure I'm missing some things.
@@rsamd I've got several friend with Tesla's. It's not that I'm not willing to change, its my use case is better served with the Camry, and I prefer the interior of the Camry over the Model 3. It's far less costly to insure a Camry, and a Camry will last me 15-20 years. I keep my cars long term. I work on my own cars, so maintenance is easy for me. We plan on 4-5 long distance road trips a year, many off the beaten path. Don't want to deal with on the road charging and the hassle.

I agree that the Tesla colors are a bit boring so I got mine wrapped and iridescent green and I get more positive feedback from that color than anything I’ve ever done. It’s a total hoot.
lol can't believe we have this type of comparison. Very interesting. Please do more EV vs Hybrid like this. There is a big market of people who are in the fence between these 2 types. I personally will have my 25 Camry xse delivered next week. But really can't get my eyes of Tesla EV news.
I’m in the market to replace my 2012 v6 Camry. Handing it down to my daughter. Over 40k for AWD XSE or $47k for the new model 3 performance.. easy peasy.. model 3 performance it is for me. Cheaper than a Prius to “fuel” and super car performance.. if Toyota kept the v6 or did a higher performance version I would look harder at the Camry but I’m not downgrading my current 0-60 to upgrade my car
Which is the better daily driver? The one you only need to fill up once a week and needn't worry about spending hours to do so regardless of the weather. And the one that can actually be repaired by a technician anywhere you go.
Hybrids and mechanics will charge you outrages prices. Camry cost more, have to go to the gas station. Oil change, transmission service, coolant change… a lot more maintenance. Tesla fills up with juice at home. 8 year and 100k mile warranty craps all over Camry warranty
As of the time of posting the video, the latest FSD updates no longer require wheel nag and instead use attention monitoring. Attention monitoring is currently incompatible with sunglasses, but an update for that is promised soon.
The Camry is much nicer looking. Tesla’s appearance is typically “blah”. The Camry has better access to the trunk (larger opening). MPG is not always the governing factor for purchasing a car. Many people do not have the ability to charge at home. Also, I expect that most states will start charging a mileage/road tax on EV’s to account for charging at home. One can find fuel stations more easily than EV charging stations and the time for refill is much faster.
You can charge at home and the cost per mile for the Tesla is cheaper. Also refill times don't matter when you can charge at home or have access to a 240V charger nearby.
@johnduck2190 How about the Democrat's plan to tax ICE cars like yours per mile with a "carbon offset tax" to "save the planet" from their global warming hoax? Damn, you just aren't very bright, are you? The Democrats are coming for your gas cars dipstick. They have told you that about a million times but you're too stupid to figure it out! Road tax my ass. The Democrats would tax you every time you went to the bathroom if Republicans hadn't saved your sorry butt from their insane policies!
How bout charging while you sleep and waking up with a full “tank” every single morning? I have never filled up my Camry and said to myself.. welp I have xxx amount of range til the next gas stop. I don’t even know how many miles my 2012 v6 gets out of a tank nor do I care…
@@Jdsmitty10 And how does one do this when traveling from Reed City Mi to Fort Myers beach FL, not one Tesla charger was near a hotel we stayed at renting one off Turo, Oh and we don't have this where we live, but our friends that live in New York City have to get a permit to install a charger at home and the city won't grant it because it's a "low line pull" area and if they catch you with one you installed yourself, you'll get fined out the a%$. The Tesla has it's advantages and disadvantages, but so does the Camry, we tried it and just didn't work for us, maybe in 10 years we'll try again, but for now we (and a few others we know) cars like the Camry are just better still.
@@joshausterlitz3798 EV’s aren’t for everyone obviously.. They def have disadvantages in situations like you mention. My situation is different as my wife and I have two Toyotas and I’m buying the Tesla as a third car. My daughter turns 16 next week and she will drive my 2012 v6 Camry. I can take a gasser on roadtrips if I don’t want to deal with charging. I own my house and will wire the charger myself like I wired the entire house when I built it. Charging at home is a must for EV for sure. Closest supercharger to me is 45 min away but for my daily commuting and running kids around to activities I drive about 80-120 miles a day so no big deal with 300 mile range for daily use.
@@Jdsmitty10 Wow, driving that much a day, you are going to be sooo happy with your Tesla. Park it and plug it in like a cell phone, and you're done. Repeat daily. Set up the Tesla to charge at low nighttime rates and you'll be seeing huge savings. 100 miles a day average means lots of oil changes and service. Not so much with the Tesla. BTW, the sound system is awesome. Enjoy the future.
The biggest difference between the two is re-sale! You can't give a 10 year old Tesla away with the battery replacement cost of $25-$30K. The Camry will still be going for another 10 years before major repairs!
Exactly. I drive LA to Vegas and stopping in 110 degree Barstow for half an hour to charge just isn't fun. I'll take a hybrid or phev over an ev any day.
Charging is a pain in the a** and it’s only getting more expensive . Gas prices vary but it’s so convenient Where I live I don’t even need to get out of the car to fill up no extra charge .
That’s too bad the M3 got rid of the control stalks for shifting and blinkers. It was already hard with no manual control knobs for climate, but this seems like Tesla was being too narrow and limiting their user base.
Bottom line: If you have access to charge at home then the Tesla is less expensive and easier for daily driving. If you don' have access to level 2 charging then the price for fuel/electricity is a wash but you will have to charge at a supercharger three times more than going to the gas station and charge for 45 minutes or more per trip to the supercharger. If you don't live near a supercharger and don't have access to home/destination charging (which is a lot of people) then the Tesla isn't an option.
if you think build quality matter then maybe. I heard those tesla can't be recharge if the battery got too cold and struck in winter time and the car insurance be expensive as well, not much saving in money if people think tesla saved you on gas. A camry le fwd can saved you gas and cheaper on the car insurance in the long run, not to mentioned the car only cost 29,000 for a base model.
@@binhbui7079 The build quality on my 2023 Model 3 Performance is excellent, and I’ve not had a single scheduled maintenance or warranty claim. I live in Chicago and used the car throughout the winter with the car parked outside in temperatures down to -10°F and I never had a single problem, so that’s total fake news FUD. I expect to spend about $1,000/year on electricity, while most will spend about $2,400/year for fuel - that’s pretty substantial, especially when you factor in the significantly reduced maintenance and operational costs of the Tesla. Lastly, I insure directly through Tesla and it costs less than $100/month for two adult drivers, which is less than it was for our Camry. I’m telling you, I’ve owned both vehicles and there’s no comparison - the Tesla is superior in every way, including performance, safety, comfort, cost of ownership, technology…pretty much everything. The Camry is a great car, but it’s a horse and carriage by comparison.
@@binhbui7079 I heard a bunch of things too, before owning a tesla. Afterwards, I had to unlearn most of it. Worse than lies are the half-truths, like that winter circus.
I wish my Tesla had a range of 650 miles. Heck I would be good with 350-420 miles. The front end on the Camry is horribly, but they did a great job with the rear end. Overall, I like the body style better on the Tesla, but the build quality is better on the Toyota. By the way, our stores have Halloween out too, including HEB grocery stores.
Despite more expensive insurance on evs, I'd tesla over camry any day and I'm not an ev person. Sure camry is reliable, but gosh this thing got a face only mother can love
I was just in Canada - I stopped at ON-ROUTE (Rest area), where there were 4 EV charger...i parked my ICE or Acura MDX near by then I saw an EV Volts came and was waiting to be charged as ALL 4 EV stations were full. In meanwhile, i went to restroom, grabbed Tim hortons then left. EV was waiting and smoking an E-cigarette. I was like wow! unbelievable. Imagine waiting for gas 30 mins and then wait another 30 mins to and hour just to be filled 50-80%?
We just bought a ‘25 Camry XSE almost exactly the same package just minus cooled seats and sunroof. I can pretty much say the gas mileage listed is not real world for sure (closer to 44mpg or so). I keep it in ECO mode all the time. Sport mode seems to be most noticeable from a standing start. A side note I will say that the paddles seem a little pointless as it has a CVT transmission. Unfortunately 3D mats doesn’t have the mats for the ‘25 Camry just yet but they do have it on the future development list based a what they sent to me. They ask that I check back in 4-6 months. I plan on checking back with them.
I personally think for the time being, an EV is a good lease choice for someone who isnt gonna road trip/ just wants quick acceleration & something different & an hybrid is the a better choice for an daily driver/ single car person etc. Hybrids are getting better with power output as well but for me I'm fine with just my 3 ICE cars a 2024 Audi Allroad Prestige, 2022 Ram 1500 E Torque (these are both mild hybrids but fr thats just stop start stuff) & my 2018 GT Sport. Allroad is 263hp 5s 0-60, Ram is 305hp 6.8s 0-60, & GT Sport 201hp 6.3s 0-60 which all are good enough numbers for dailying, & all get roughly 300 miles to a tank.
When it came down to leasing for me, the Model 3 was significantly cheaper. Federal and state incentives certainly help of course. I ended up going with an Ultra Red M3LR. It was about $65 less per month vs a middle trim Camry SE.
Model 3 RWD, The lightest model 3, weighs 3,891 lb according to Tesla's website. Not sure where you got the 3600 lbs number from.. the Camry XSE weighs 3,682 lb so the model 3 is 209 lb heavier. So the lightest model 3 is at least 200 lb heavier than the heaviest Camry...
Boring AF and 0-60 in 3-5 business days.. this Camry v6 owner is going to Tesla model 3 performance. 0-60 in 2.9, cost less than a Prius to “fuel” .. somewhat higher insurance but worth it to me
To my Gen Zs out there, dodge stratus was cousin to the dodge neon. And umm… they were both cars that well… we millennials and baby boomers know about.
The range comparisons are a little misleading the Camry has twice the range therefore the Tesla would have to fill up twice to get the same range as the Toyota. Furthermore most ppl don’t fully charge or fully deplete their Tesla’s batteries, this too is another issue when comparing range.
I had an Acura mdx and it have a opening panoroof and I've been wanting a panoroof for the longest time but draining it for a year I've open my roof like twice and opening the sunshade 5 times. What I'm trying to say is with the sunshade it makes me either don't want to open it or made me forgot I could. On my tesla I ion the sunshade 100% of the time because I don't have one and get to enjoy the view.
@@johnnyc0811 Will it? Tesla's chassis is built to last 500k miles. Battery 250k. It's just a much simpler design, with 2x less parts. Pollution control parts alone are in the 1000s for the Toyota.
Are you sure about the capacitive steering wheel in the Camry? I have the new Camry, and I feel like I definitely have to wiggle the wheel if I'm going perfectly straight for more than 30 seconds. Even if my hands are on the wheel.
@@venelinkeremedchiev9643 For what? global warming by burning fossil fuels? ICE is no match for an EV, by every new refuelling you drive the world to more devastating consequences of this stupid behaviour
@@venelinkeremedchiev9643 I heard about that kill switch. From what I understand, they plan on doing this with every new car. This needs to be stopped.
In cold environments, battery range drops by 1/4. You get the same mileage as a hybrid Toyota, maybe even more, not to mention the reliability of a Tesla.
I'm a die hard Camry/Toyota fan and the Tesla MYLR is the first non Toyota I ever owned. Even as a Tesla owner, I roll my eyes when people brag about the Tesla sub trunk because Toyota's would basically have that too except they give people a good spare tire which I'd take over any sub trunk.
Tesla owner or EV owner never responds to potential tax on mileage driven especially here in California because the amount of residents going from ICE cars to EV and local and state government are loosing revenue on gas tax
When you test cabin noise you should test it getting up to speed because 70mph cruise might be quieter but it might also make a total racket getting there because of a loud engine. We want to know that because we don’t want our cars making a racket getting up to speed.
I test drove the Camry, Prius and Model 3 and went with the Model 3 LR RWD. The Camry seemed like an old design car with updated infotainment screen, heavy doors, hard uncomfortable seats even on XSE and the dashboard was too high and on passenger side. The Prius had a ton of engine noise and steering wheel vibration and felt like an economy car from 20 years ago when the engine kicked in. And the roof on the Prius was super low, I am 5’ 7” and my head hit the visor. The new Model 3 Highland updates with softer ride, better interior, less road noise, along with the safety features and the current FSD sold me even though I will need to charge it. I won’t be using gas and will be driving the safest car on the road. Although Toyota is reliable, those cars seemed like dinosaurs after test driving all 3 in comparison. If you’re doing test drives save the Tesla for last to make your decision. You will be shocked.
It's a 13 gallon tank and gasoline weighs ~6 lbs per gallon so ~78 lbs. And 600 mile range so the impact of the extra weight of the gasoline is negligible. BTW, He got the weight of model 3 incorrect in the video, it's 3,891 lbs.
Most people will qualify for the instant $7500 tax rebate, so realistically for the same 42K, you can get the Performance Version with WAY nicer seats, longer range (303 mi), faster charging, Adaptive suspension and 20" wheels!. The Rear Wheel drive version, because it comes with Chinese batteries it does't qualify and it's 33K, BUT the long range version DOES qualify so it's UNDER 30K! To top it off the LR version gets almost 100 miles MORE range (363 mi).
I would prefer that the Tesla's would have a more traditional screen setup like the Camry. All the info could still be included as it is on the large screen.
Apples to apples, I guess. Unless you consider the cost of tires and insurance. The insurance on the Tesla will be way over the Toyota. Maintenance costs I will choose Toyota all day. Oh, last nail in the coffin reseller value on tesla is really bad now.
I loved this review! Thank you! My wife rejected the original Model 3 because the suspension was so harsh. How would you rate the new Model 3 suspension compared to the Camry? I realize it has a sport mode. Whatever mode in both cars is the smoothest, how would you compare the suspension? One of our cars is an Avalon. Very smooth…thanks again! ❤❤❤
So even though the Camry is an incredibly efficient hybrid the model 3 still only costs half as much to drive per mile when charging at home. Nice to see this finally said instead of every other comparison that just compares EV’s to ICE on a long trips alone.
@@singular9not an important factor for long term owner. And no, Tesla wont lose value that much from now on because there is no more room for price cut. The huge depreciation hit a couple of years ago was due to new car getting that $7500 tax credit and Elon Musk agressive price cut on new car. The new price now is already too cheap it is unlikely they can go down further.
@@tuanseattle When rapid charging batteries replaces current ones, that will probably depreciate existing EVs. But then no on will want an ICE car, so they all depreciate too.
Do you mean the reliability of having to go back to the dealer every six months get oil changed and so on. First dealership stop for the Tesla is four years after you buy it.
@@colingenge9999 the reason you come in every 6 months are those tire rotation, usually I don't know much about Tesla's and they have bigger tires to compensate for the battery weight which can cause un even wear, and then newer models do 10,000 on oil services. if you think about it they both have their ups and downs
@@JosephIanCKing my Tesla Model Y had tires rotated at 29,000 km after 1.5 years. Weight of vehicle lower than similar size Porsche making tire wear FUD invalid. After 4 years of filling my washer fluid and more tire rotations I have my first visit to the Tesla dealership. Trust me that ICE car dealers make $0 selling the car and all their profit from your service visits. German car makers will find several $1000 worth of work to do.
Who cares about range on a gas car? Why do people even bring up range on gas vehicles? Range is really only important in EV.. but it makes the Camry sound better I guess
@@Jdsmitty10 range is not even important in most EVS that get around 400 km because you always leave home with the car full and you may have to think about going to a charging station once per year, which is all handled automatically by the car anyway. It’s actually a lot less hassle than, looking for gas stations when you eventually run out.
2025 Toyota Camry starts at $29,535 and goes up to $35,735 depending on the trim and options. 2024 Tesla Model 3's price ranges from $40,630 to $54,630, depending on the trim and options: Standard Range RWD: $40,630 Long Range AWD: $49,130 Performance: $54,630 After tax credits, so there is still $10k difference or so.

Hilarious as usual! Great stuff. I had a Prius base model a couple of months ago while working in Sonoma and in averaged 57 MPG over 480 miles or so and was surprisingly really good.. Toyota definitely knows how to make a hybrid.
still, a M3rwd in similar driving conditions gets up to 170mpg equiv.
If you can have home charging and you don't do 1000+ mile road trips more than a couple times then get the Tesla. The RWD Long Range model is especially enticing and perfect if you live in the south. Honestly cheaper than a loaded Camry still. Even the AWD model is the same price after the tax credit
Actually for 42K you could get the Performance edition. After tax rebate it's the same price.
Insurance cost should be included. Insuring the Camry is probably cheaper.
Perhaps not, if the Camry costs more.

All I care about is comfort and quietness which I surprisingly find that the tesla is just as quiet as my camry hybrid. At low speed, tesla’s motor is quieter (no wheeze at all), and there is no buzzing brake actuator noise when coming to a stop.
I still prefer the camry’s suspension for comfort but the model 3 is not bad at all and have better body control.
There are things I wish could be better on the 3 is:
- indicator and gear stalks (bottons are very distracting to use, and if it takes me more than 30mins to get used to, I think it is not a user friendly design. Elon must be planning to make tesla a full-self driving taxi which is why he didn’t care about driver focus)
- Steering wheel on model 3 feels like a video game controller. I’m surprise that the camry steering feel is actually pretty good compared to the 3.
The Camry has a spare tyre and the other doesn't
Maybe that's why it has a smaller trunk
Of course you won't notice because you always call roadside assistance
Honestly, how often do you get a flat tire these days? It’s been about 10 years for me.
My wife got a flat tire and had no clue how to fix it or if she had a spare tire like you said she called AAA to have discount tire change it.
Find wooooooood 🪵 now!!!!!!!!
Love the comparison videos. Nice work, Gjeebs! I agree with your point on the "excess tire wear". The additional weight from the battery actually is a benefit IMO. Better center of gravity when rippin' it around.
Thank you! and yea the Model 3 feels more agile which I like.
Best line..'.how many cars have you built ?'
Love that color on the Camry!
"The world is not ideal, but you got to give it your best out there." - Gjeebs the prophet
i'll say this again- if you live in an apartment, do not get an EV. supercharging all the time is basically the same price as gas. That battery tank will continue to get smaller- a gas tank will not.
I agree with you.
But most apartment buildings have parking garages with EV charging nowadays

My apartment has EV charging and in fact, many apartment communities do as well. I'm going with a Tesla Model Y, but like this Camry as well.

Right, because 95% of people get $7500 off. It’s not that the value drops more quickly, it’s that these cars actually cost people 35k instead of 42k.

lol can't believe we have this type of comparison. Very interesting. Please do more EV vs Hybrid like this. There is a big market of people who are in the fence between these 2 types. I personally will have my 25 Camry xse delivered next week. But really can't get my eyes of Tesla EV news.
I’m in the market to replace my 2012 v6 Camry. Handing it down to my daughter. Over 40k for AWD XSE or $47k for the new model 3 performance.. easy peasy.. model 3 performance it is for me. Cheaper than a Prius to “fuel” and super car performance.. if Toyota kept the v6 or did a higher performance version I would look harder at the Camry but I’m not downgrading my current 0-60 to upgrade my car
Which is the better daily driver? The one you only need to fill up once a week and needn't worry about spending hours to do so regardless of the weather. And the one that can actually be repaired by a technician anywhere you go.
So the Tesla? I charge it once a week at my work that has free chargers and don't need to pay a dime. Gas car for road trips.
Hybrids and mechanics will charge you outrages prices. Camry cost more, have to go to the gas station. Oil change, transmission service, coolant change… a lot more maintenance. Tesla fills up with juice at home. 8 year and 100k mile warranty craps all over Camry warranty
As of the time of posting the video, the latest FSD updates no longer require wheel nag and instead use attention monitoring. Attention monitoring is currently incompatible with sunglasses, but an update for that is promised soon.
The Camry is much nicer looking. Tesla’s appearance is typically “blah”. The Camry has better access to the trunk (larger opening). MPG is not always the governing factor for purchasing a car. Many people do not have the ability to charge at home. Also, I expect that most states will start charging a mileage/road tax on EV’s to account for charging at home. One can find fuel stations more easily than EV charging stations and the time for refill is much faster.
Nah. Camry looks bloated. Tesla looks sleek and it's so much more fun to drive. I driven them both and it's not even close.
You can charge at home and the cost per mile for the Tesla is cheaper. Also refill times don't matter when you can charge at home or have access to a 240V charger nearby.
Tesla owners never have a response about potential EV tax on mileage driven,HELLO!
@johnduck2190 How about the Democrat's plan to tax ICE cars like yours per mile with a "carbon offset tax" to "save the planet" from their global warming hoax? Damn, you just aren't very bright, are you? The Democrats are coming for your gas cars dipstick. They have told you that about a million times but you're too stupid to figure it out! Road tax my ass.

I too have the quack lock sound. It makes my heart happy.
2 minutes to recharge fuel tank vs 2-3 hours to charge tesla hmmm 300 miles range vs over 600 miles lol range
How bout charging while you sleep and waking up with a full “tank” every single morning? I have never filled up my Camry and said to myself.. welp I have xxx amount of range til the next gas stop. I don’t even know how many miles my 2012 v6 gets out of a tank nor do I care…
@@Jdsmitty10and a lot of places let you charge for Free 🆓
@@Jdsmitty10 And how does one do this when traveling from Reed City Mi to Fort Myers beach FL, not one Tesla charger was near a hotel we stayed at renting one off Turo, Oh and we don't have this where we live, but our friends that live in New York City have to get a permit to install a charger at home and the city won't grant it because it's a "low line pull" area and if they catch you with one you installed yourself, you'll get fined out the a%$. The Tesla has it's advantages and disadvantages, but so does the Camry, we tried it and just didn't work for us, maybe in 10 years we'll try again, but for now we (and a few others we know) cars like the Camry are just better still.
@@joshausterlitz3798 EV’s aren’t for everyone obviously.. They def have disadvantages in situations like you mention. My situation is different as my wife and I have two Toyotas and I’m buying the Tesla as a third car. My daughter turns 16 next week and she will drive my 2012 v6 Camry. I can take a gasser on roadtrips if I don’t want to deal with charging. I own my house and will wire the charger myself like I wired the entire house when I built it. Charging at home is a must for EV for sure. Closest supercharger to me is 45 min away but for my daily commuting and running kids around to activities I drive about 80-120 miles a day so no big deal with 300 mile range for daily use.
@@Jdsmitty10 Wow, driving that much a day, you are going to be sooo happy with your Tesla. Park it and plug it in like a cell phone, and you're done. Repeat daily. Set up the Tesla to charge at low nighttime rates and you'll be seeing huge savings. 100 miles a day average means lots of oil changes and service. Not so much with the Tesla. BTW, the sound system is awesome. Enjoy the future.
The biggest difference between the two is re-sale! You can't give a 10 year old Tesla away with the battery replacement cost of $25-$30K. The Camry will still be going for another 10 years before major repairs!
I’ll choose the Camry. Toyota is top quality and the range is incredible .
Exactly. I drive LA to Vegas and stopping in 110 degree Barstow for half an hour to charge just isn't fun. I'll take a hybrid or phev over an ev any day.
Charging is a pain in the a** and it’s only getting more expensive .
Gas prices vary but it’s so convenient
Where I live I don’t even need to get out of the car to fill up no extra charge .
That’s too bad the M3 got rid of the control stalks for shifting and blinkers. It was already hard with no manual control knobs for climate, but this seems like Tesla was being too narrow and limiting their user base.
I just traded in my 2019 Camry on a Mode Y. Camry is a nice car but Tesla all day
@@qitstrn any regrets?
just got a 24 Model 3 performance i love it and im a muscle car guy .I aint going back best of all worlds
Bottom line: If you have access to charge at home then the Tesla is less expensive and easier for daily driving. If you don' have access to level 2 charging then the price for fuel/electricity is a wash but you will have to charge at a supercharger three times more than going to the gas station and charge for 45 minutes or more per trip to the supercharger. If you don't live near a supercharger and don't have access to home/destination charging (which is a lot of people) then the Tesla isn't an option.
Having owned both, the Tesla is from another century.
We own the Camry and I drive a Tesla at work. That should tell you what I think of Tesla build quality.
if you think build quality matter then maybe. I heard those tesla can't be recharge if the battery got too cold and struck in winter time and the car insurance be expensive as well, not much saving in money if people think tesla saved you on gas. A camry le fwd can saved you gas and cheaper on the car insurance in the long run, not to mentioned the car only cost 29,000 for a base model.
@@binhbui7079 The build quality on my 2023 Model 3 Performance is excellent, and I’ve not had a single scheduled maintenance or warranty claim. I live in Chicago and used the car throughout the winter with the car parked outside in temperatures down to -10°F and I never had a single problem, so that’s total fake news FUD. I expect to spend about $1,000/year on electricity, while most will spend about $2,400/year for fuel - that’s pretty substantial, especially when you factor in the significantly reduced maintenance and operational costs of the Tesla. Lastly, I insure directly through Tesla and it costs less than $100/month for two adult drivers, which is less than it was for our Camry. I’m telling you, I’ve owned both vehicles and there’s no comparison - the Tesla is superior in every way, including performance, safety, comfort, cost of ownership, technology…pretty much everything. The Camry is a great car, but it’s a horse and carriage by comparison.

The Camry will last 30 years, the Tesla 5 years. That is the difference.
I wish my Tesla had a range of 650 miles. Heck I would be good with 350-420 miles. The front end on the Camry is horribly, but they did a great job with the rear end. Overall, I like the body style better on the Tesla, but the build quality is better on the Toyota. By the way, our stores have Halloween out too, including HEB grocery stores.

Really good review, i think the only reason someone would choose a camry is cuz they dont know about Model 3.
These two were literally the finalists in my decision making. I went with the Tesla. Pretty happy… so far.
I was just in Canada - I stopped at ON-ROUTE (Rest area), where there were 4 EV charger...i parked my ICE or Acura MDX near by then I saw an EV Volts came and was waiting to be charged as ALL 4 EV stations were full. In meanwhile, i went to restroom, grabbed Tim hortons then left. EV was waiting and smoking an E-cigarette.
I was like wow! unbelievable. Imagine waiting for gas 30 mins and then wait another 30 mins to and hour just to be filled 50-80%?
We just bought a ‘25 Camry XSE almost exactly the same package just minus cooled seats and sunroof. I can pretty much say the gas mileage listed is not real world for sure (closer to 44mpg or so).
I keep it in ECO mode all the time. Sport mode seems to be most noticeable from a standing start. A side note I will say that the paddles seem a little pointless as it has a CVT transmission.
Unfortunately 3D mats doesn’t have the mats for the ‘25 Camry just yet but they do have it on the future development list based a what they sent to me. They ask that I check back in 4-6 months. I plan on checking back with them.
how is the headrest, is it comfortable I have to go test drive one to see
@Gjeebs do you plan to also do a comparison video between the model 3 & the Toyota Corolla hybrid?
Video was over at 1 minute in. 3 cents per a mile, all I needed to hear.
Most people will be buying the LE/SE Camry which is much cheaper.
Thanks for the review, any info on the rims? Can't seem to build a 25 Camry with those wheels here in TX.
I appreciate your humor. Keep it up!!!
I personally think for the time being, an EV is a good lease choice for someone who isnt gonna road trip/ just wants quick acceleration & something different & an hybrid is the a better choice for an daily driver/ single car person etc. Hybrids are getting better with power output as well but for me I'm fine with just my 3 ICE cars a 2024 Audi Allroad Prestige, 2022 Ram 1500 E Torque (these are both mild hybrids but fr thats just stop start stuff) & my 2018 GT Sport. Allroad is 263hp 5s 0-60, Ram is 305hp 6.8s 0-60, & GT Sport 201hp 6.3s 0-60 which all are good enough numbers for dailying, & all get roughly 300 miles to a tank.

Model 3 RWD, The lightest model 3, weighs 3,891 lb according to Tesla's website. Not sure where you got the 3600 lbs number from.. the Camry XSE weighs 3,682 lb so the model 3 is 209 lb heavier. So the lightest model 3 is at least 200 lb heavier than the heaviest Camry...

The range comparisons are a little misleading the Camry has twice the range therefore the Tesla would have to fill up twice to get the same range as the Toyota. Furthermore most ppl don’t fully charge or fully deplete their Tesla’s batteries, this too is another issue when comparing range.

The Camry seemed like an old design car with updated infotainment screen, heavy doors, hard uncomfortable seats even on XSE and the dashboard was too high and on passenger side. The Prius had a ton of engine noise and steering wheel vibration and felt like an economy car from 20 years ago when the engine kicked in. And the roof on the Prius was super low, I am 5’ 7” and my head hit the visor.

The model 3 is comparable now Tesla has finally done a really nice job with the suspension. Avalon is probably smoother still
So even though the Camry is an incredibly efficient hybrid the model 3 still only costs half as much to drive per mile when charging at home.

@@colingenge9999 the reason you come in every 6 months are those tire rotation, usually I don't know much about Tesla's and they have bigger tires to compensate for the battery weight which can cause un even wear, and then newer models do 10,000 on oil services. if you think about it they both have their ups and downs

@@Jdsmitty10 range is not even important in most EVS that get around 400 km because you always leave home with the car full and you may have to think about going to a charging station once per year, which is all handled automatically by the car anyway.
