I saw one in person for the first time just the other week. No matter how obvious it might seem by looking at pictures and videos, they really are that ugly and seeing one in person is different.
I think they're pretty cool looking. My only issue is the impracticality of the storage. And the reliability. And the finish getting stained by anything. And all the recalls. And the sharp edges. And the UI. And Tesla's main guy. And the price. Otherwise I'd buy one.
They look like what a ten year old boy would think it's cool.
They're the 2020s DeLoreans. Watch. In 20-years collectors will bring them back.
Except I bet they wont even function by then unless buyers also homebrew Tesla online services. At least DeLoreans aren’t Internet connected and can’t be disabled remotely.
