    Model S3xy? Why Elon, just why…

    The model X looks like an inflated model 3 IMO, the first time I saw one IRL it looked kinda hideous

      I’m not a car guy. There happened to be a tesla showroom at the mall (wtf?) I was at with some coworkers for lunch, and one of them was dying to look at the new model X, so we made a detour. It was the first tesla I sat in.

      I couldn’t believe how cheap and tacky it felt. Everything was plasticy, leather felt like pleather. The giant tablet just seemed unnecessary and gaudy.

      The tech was cool and all, but I couldn’t believe this was what everyone was talking about.

      If memory serves, the only reason that they couldn’t go for the Model E, is that Ford has/had a trademark for it, so they went with Model 3 instead.
