The base model has a higher range per dollar than an SR+ by a comfortable margin. Abysmal seems like a strong word...? It might not be as fast or sexy as a Tesla, but cars like this will be the bread and butter of the EV transition.
30k EUR - 19% VAT = ~$27,750 USD, or $135 per WLTP mile.
SR+ is $38,990 with a range of 254, or $153 per WLTP mile.
- zaroth 7y agoI think if you’re going to extrapolate a fictional ID.3 by backing out the VAT, the least you could do is compare against an SR- at $35,000 to get $137. Or alternatively the LR at 348mi WLTP range (+12.25%) for $47,990 = $138. Of course range per dollar is a funny metric because it’s like saying it’s the only thing you are paying for.
- reitzensteinm 7y agoRemoving the VAT is absolutely the right way to make the comparison. I didn't use EU prices for the Model 3 so as to not penalize it for tariffs and shipping. I honestly can't believe you're pushing back on that. The specs don't match up to a Model 3, but it's a much cheaper car. If they were the same price, I'd understand your distaste.
