The Model 3's range with the long range battery is actually 310 miles but more importantly you are not going to get one for the cost of a Camry. They start at just below $50K with the long range battery. Regarding maintenance, the brake fluid and battery coolant will need periodic replacement, I believe. Did they not tell you this when you bought yours? I am waiting for the Model Y - need more space than the Model 3.

FUN TESLA FACTS:
TESLA vehicles are 100% made in FRESNO CA - with Tesla paying union wages.
TESLA requires no maintenance - only windshield washer fluid and tires. (brakes pads 150k miles) as you use regen braking to stop.
TESLA receives over the internet updates and you can add options as you need.
TESLA pure electric not a mixture of engine and electric
TESLA model s has 370 miles of range(and has FREE supercharging for life) model 3 has 325 miles of range (and is the cost of a camry)
