Is it me, or is the Model Y really ugly?

S is the only model that is decent all round, the other can look good from certain angles, but also look horrible from others, still getting a 3 though.
I think a grill on the model 3 would massively improve it.

I really like the look of the daytime running lights on the Model S And was amazed when to see the X and 3 were different.
I would have thought “signature” lights would be something Tesla would have strived for.

It would make it better for cookouts.
Fake grilles on an EV look bad to me. Just like large grilles on ICEVs, or fake engine noise, lazy, timid design because people are used to it.
If people want something to break up the front, it shouldn't be fake.

I think the Y is OK..... for a crossover. Do any of that sector look stunning? They are built for practicality not looks. The proportions are wrong to look sleek.

If you post your photo next to one of the model Y we could opine.

That’s why I’m actually a fan of the number plate ... it breaks up what would otherwise be a bit flat strange looking area

Gotta remember that the Model Y is designed for outstanding aerodynamics plus optimized interior space. It is designed for mass market appeal, not show car circuit.
Think it holds it's own among other small SUVs in the styling department.

Yes. The front is a failure. Like that was the last design part and they were out of time. Oh well just slap something together.
It's not just you. While I could live with the 3, they really got lazy on the Y and basically just distorted and enlarged its shape.
The S is clearly better proportioned and is prettier than the 3 and Y but sadly it too is starting to show its age. I'm fine with the facelift front but they could have done some "work" on the back.
I wouldn’t comment on the Y until I’d seen it in the flesh, but I don’t mind acknowledging that my M3P is ugly. I often look at it with distaste. But then I didn’t buy it for its looks.
I feel much the same about mine. From many angles the 3 (and even the Y) look good, but the front just isn’t aesthetically pleasing. I think it’s a combination of the low bumper line, the height of the windscreen, the pinched cabin, and the shape of the lights (err, so that will be all of it!).
Different strokes for different folks. I will reserve judgement for the Y until I've seen one in person, but I rarely find CUVs attractive vehicles regardless. And I currently drive one (which I do kind of like the look of, but some people will hate). As for the Model 3, I actually like the front view. I totally see where people are coming from, but I quite like the gentle "cute" appearance and hate the sharp and aggressive appearance of some models in comparison. I think it looks nicer in some colours than others and think it's a nicer vehicle to look at in person than photos.
