2022 Tesla Model 3 | Tesla
During the road test, the Audi A4 got a score of 88 out of 100. Once again, the Tesla Model 3 flopped with a score of 82 out of 100. Under the hood of the A4 is the impressive 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine. Consumer Reports ranked Audi highly for its excellent throttle response, ample low-end power, and free-wheeling nature. The turbocharged engine is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
The Tesla Model 3 can travel over 300 miles on a single charge, which is great! The downside is that it takes 12 hours to charge on a 32 amp 240 volt connector and seven hours to charge on a 40 amp 240 volt connector.
