For drivers in San Juan Capistrano, the BMW i4 is an electric small sedan much like the Tesla Model 3. The BMW i4 ships with three trim levels: eDrive35, eDrive40, and M50. The Tesla Model 3 also comes in a few trim levels: Base, Long Range, and Performance. Drivers can take the BMW i4 for a maximum driving range of 301 miles according to the EPA. This trim level is the eDrive40 trim, offering a power boost clocking in at 335 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. The Tesla Model 3 can travel 358 miles with the Long Range trim, but without a boost in power output.

Upper trim levels include a Harman Kardon premium audio system, wireless smartphone charging, and a head-up display. Tesla Model 3's interior remains the same across all trim levels. This features Tesla's standard large infotainment display, wireless charging pads, and panoramic glass roof. Other than that, each trim level is essentially the same.
