We traded our 2017 Prius Prime for a 2019 Standard Range Plus Model 3. A unique opportunity, we are very happy and remain happy with both cars. However, Consumer Reports had this:
- Prius Prime - got a higher score even though it has 4-5 generations of improvements yet less payload.
- Model 3 - got a lower score, a first model year, that Consumer Reports has often cited as the worst car to get.
- Measured specifications:
- Range of Model 3 is cited but not the Prius Prime
- Cost per mile is not cited for either car
- 1200 mi - Prius Prime, $55, ~20 hrs
- 2 x +700 mi each way - trips to Kansas and Texas, ~$30 each way, ~18 hrs
- 500 mi round trip - Tunica MS
