The 2024 Prius Prime has an MSRP starting around $33k. So about $8k more expensive than the hypothetical $25k Tesla, though it does have the advantage of actually existing today. It has about a 40 mile range on electric. When the battery runs out, it switches to gas, where it gets about 50mpg. Car and Driver rates it a 10/10.
I'm very pleased with my 2018 Prius Prime. It only has about a 25 mile electric range, but I have short commute to work so it works out well in my case. Most of my driving is in electric mode and the car is very responsive with quick acceleration. When the car switches to gas I'm reminded that it's a Prius, not a sports car, but it's worth it for me. I refill the tank maybe once every three or four months. It's one of the cleanest cars on the road.
