EV Haters: I regret to inform you that gas-powered vehicles peaked in 2017 and aren't coming back.

The 2026 @Tesla Model 3 RWD is the most efficient EV that Edmunds has tested that is currently in production.
"Tesla's RWD Model 3 has an EPA range estimate of 363 miles, but our test car traveled 393 miles on a full charge. That's 30 miles farther than its official figure, or an 8.3% improvement. The more impressive figure is how little energy it used to get there. The EPA rates the Model 3 RWD at 25 kWh per 100 miles, or 4 miles per kWh. In our testing, it returned 21.7 kWh per 100 miles, or 4.61 mi/kWh, making it 13.2% more efficient than its EPA estimate.
The latest car feels quick, quiet and easy to drive, with responsive steering and useful cargo space. Our reviewers have also found the cabin to be better finished than before. Taken as a whole, the Model 3 RWD is an unusually efficient electric vehicle that is also nice to drive and easy to live with on a daily basis."
