- Price. At this retrieval, Model 3 RWD is the cheapest entry OTR; Model Y RWD sits higher. Compare like-for-like trims in the tables.
- Range. WLTP miles differ by trim — read the column, then expect less in winter (winter range).
- Features. Software features are largely shared; see Tesla features explained.
- Costs. Same energy maths either way — running costs. Company car? BIK calculator.
