Tesla cars: MPG and fuel economy by model
The EPA has rated 184 vehicles from Tesla across 82 distinct models since 2012. The list below covers every Tesla model with its combined MPG and estimated annual fuel cost, organised by model year so you can see how the lineup has evolved.
Below you will find every Tesla model in the EPA dataset, split into a recent table for the last five model years and a longer table for the rest. Click any model and year to see the full breakdown, including city and highway MPG, tailpipe CO₂ emissions, and the engine and drivetrain specification.
Tesla fuel economy snapshot
Across every Tesla the EPA has ever rated, the most efficient is the 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus RWD at 142 combined MPG. That figure includes electric vehicles, which use MPGe rather than a true gallon of fuel.
For the 2026 model year, Tesla's lineup averages 115.3 combined MPG across 82 models. The lineup is currently almost entirely electric.
The bar chart below ranks the most efficient Tesla models for the 2026 model year. Use it as a quick way to spot the leader in the lineup, then click through for the full breakdown of city and highway MPG, annual fuel cost, and the engine and drivetrain.

Recent Tesla models
Recent Tesla models from the 2022 model year onward, sorted by year and model. Trims appear separately when the EPA rates them as distinct vehicles (for example, when an all-wheel-drive variant has its own MPG figures).
Older Tesla models
Older Tesla models, going back to 2012. The EPA's testing methodology has changed several times over the decades, so direct comparison between a 1980s rating and a modern one is not always meaningful. Use these figures to track the trend within a model rather than across eras.
