i4 eDrive40 vs Model 3 Long Range AWD
01The cut
i4 eDrive40 and Model 3 Long Range AWD split the numbers that move a decision. You would not notice UK grant, WLTP range and Motorway estimate.
A win is counted only where the gap is one you would notice, and only where two independent hosts agree on the figure. One-source numbers still print. Missing figures stay blank. We do not invent a score.
