I really wanted one of these at the time. But in the last 10 years Nissan/Infiniti have become progressively less appealing. I’d be less scared of picking one of these up at that age/mileage than a 3-series, but the price still seems ~$3-4k too high.

It’s a fake Volkswagen that looks like a fake Mercedes, and the bottom eight inches are sculpted entirely (and badly) out of Bondo. Hard pass.

I always thought that these were let down by the fact that they decided to put the face of a late-90s/early-00s Camry on them. It goes from inoffensively bland to indistinguishable from a decades-old Toyota/Lexus. And was the factory stick shift in these really only 2" high? I don’t need to pay $18K to play with a 2"…

That goes along with the other stupidity - making turn signal lights microscopic and co-locating them with the head lamps and then deciding the fix is to turn off the head lamp next to the signal so it looks like the car has a head lamp out when the car is waiting for a turn. 

Is it Elon’s ‘thing’ now to strike a dopey pose for any photo op?

So, I’m on my phone instead of computer, so I don’t have the time to compose a properly-reasoned and cited argument about how hilariously bad this bullshit is, so instead I will summarize it in two thoughts:

Here’s a handy pic showing the difference:

I couldn’t view the pic for some reason. But it’s ok, nothing to really write home about.

The Model Y is ugly.  It literally looks like a model 3 that was vertically scaled by 1.5.  Same with the X.

The worst part is how, after scaling all the buildings to collect the 100 stars or coins or whatever, it turns out you only get a costume. It’s not even a good one, just a shirt and pants with horizontal black and white stripes!

so it’s really more of a small town owned by a company than a private city.

hahahah, now why do they look similar.

You just wait!!!!

Certainly looks better than the new US Mail truck, it’s one goofy looking SOB

Considering that Chrysler is just a minivan away from going full Jaguar, That’s one big dollop of bravado Feuell is laying on CNBC.

I legitimately don’t understand pop-up headlights.

Those are cool, but if this is meant to be a daily driver EV and not a halo car (I admit I don’t have a good sense of this), they seem like they might be more of an annoying failure point (and extra expense) that might not be justified. I would not relish coming out after work on a winter today to find those sliding…

These are not technically pop-up headlights, but damn.

Honestly this ranks up there with carbon credit as just being a massive scam.  Like I’m gonna keep polluting but pay company x millions of dollars for credit against my pollution. Like the company your paying isn’t polluting less that they would have if you hadn’t payed them.
