Shit on me if you must but I actually like the look and features of the car. However I likely wouldn't buy a Tesla in general

It could be a good vehicle, if it was built by someone else.

The past few years have revealed that while Tesla have the tech, they lack the basic precision manufacturing that other automakers mastered decades ago.

You’d like the “features” of any car, it’s why they’re features. It’s the tradeoffs that actually matter.

And yeah, it looked cool at first, but that’s really just because of its uniqueness. From an actual design perspective, it just looks…stupid.
