    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.

        Never mind unnecessary and gaudy, it’s dangerous. Pretty much all car functions are on that touchscreen, meaning you have to use it while you drive.

          Which functions are on it that you need to drive? The only one I can think of is the climate control, but I just set mine on automatic, or adjust it at a stoplight. It’s pretty good.

        I feel like the vibe is a reasonably nice car from the 80s that someone put a huge tablet inside. I agree I find it really off putting, but I know people who love it so 🤷‍♂️

      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.
