The Tesla Model Y is going to be a huge hit despite all the negativity I see.
Here's my take. I hope you agree with me. If not please tell me why... thanks!
1) A car's success is not entirely about how it LOOKS or if the reveal was pure Hollywood or not. Being a B
eauty Queen does not necessarily make the car a success. Plain, clean simplicity are often better than outrageous gaudiness.
2) Once on the road, people will get to see what it really has to offer. That's why I'm glad that Elon decided to keep the stores open.
3) It has ample room, versatility, and improved dependability which naturally comes from platform sharing.
4) Like a Hot-Hatch of yesteryear, the Y will be a stealthy speed demon in P form ready to blow away the competition for under $60K.
5) It WILL be among the best, if not the very best handling Crossover on the market (which will improve its safety maneuvering rating).
6) If Crash-Tests prove to be on par with other Tesla's or better, couples with young children will flock to the stores or the net to buy one.
7) Ingress and Egress, (especially for older adults and seniors) is said to be better than the 3.
8) The 300 mile range is by far unbeatable for a Crossover in this price bracket.
9) The Y is destined to be a HUGE hit in Europe where the Y is custom tailored to that market.
10) Aftermarket vendors are already drooling over it.
Above is a PS’d Black Model Performance Y that’s lowered, with added tints, larger 21” wheels/tires, etc It’s a stealthy Hot Looking Crossover Hatch (when configured right) that can seat 7 with a 300 mile range and a 0-60 time of 3.5 sec... that’s awesome man! (Tap on pix to enlarge.)

It's Built on a Model 3 Platform! So?
I Love The Similarity Detail. It's NOT Ugly by any means!
