How Tesla grades

Across the 5 Tesla models graded here — 2 sedans, 2 SUVs and one truck — the median overall GPA is 2.69 (C+), 0.25 above the 2.44 median across every graded model. Every one of them runs a hybrid, plug-in or fully electric powertrain.

Subject by subject against the rest of the fleet, efficiency is where Tesla does best — a median of 3.02 against 1.31 elsewhere — and ownership cost is where it gives most away, at 0.00 against 0.85.

The highest-graded is the 2026 Tesla Model 3 at 3.00; the lowest is the 2026 Tesla Cybertruck at 2.21. Every grade is normalized inside its own segment, so these are cars measured against their direct rivals rather than against each other.
