Looks like Honda Accord is approaching $32k on average[0].
200k Honda Accords sold in the U.S. 2020[1].
450k Tesla Model 3 + Y sold globally[2].
Though Model 3 and Y average price closer to $49k and $65k respectively[3].
If I have a point, it's that if you have $35k to spend, you're probably getting a high trim level Honda Accord. Because you need another $15k to get an "average" Tesla Model 3.
(Obviously the Model 3 is worth spending $50k for lots and lots of buyers!)

- tbrock 5y agoThe Y is a much more expensive car with a discontinued standard range version and the base model 3 is by far and away the best selling version of the vehicle. Averages can be misleading. Id like to see the median prices given that the base tesla model 3 is VERY premium vs the base model accord which is not.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoIf I was looking to minimize cost per mile, I would get an Accord, not a Tesla. Hondas and Toyotas are tried and true with a few decades of reputation built up. And routine maintenance on those does not cost much.
