The Tesla Model 3 dropped from first place to third, behind the Toyota Camry and the Honda Civic, among all passenger cars sold.

Even if Tesla somehow managed to de-Elon themselves and address the quality issues, those cars look so dated compared to other EVs that are available and what’s coming soon.
They gave the model 3 a facelift but they really need a major bodystyle update across the whole line. Nothing in the entire line looks much different than the 2009 prototype model S.
They went from being futuristic to boring as fuck.
Edit: Except for the truck, of course. But that’s just something else entirely and I don’t feel like writing an essay.
Yeah I get the whole “no model year” thing to a degree. It’s exactly the sort of shit you’d think of as disruptive if you were him. But there’s a reason the auto industry does it. It’s convenient to put in minor changes once a year and major changes every five or so. It keeps the car modern, new, and easy to figure out what parts you need. You just know the model year of your car because it’s regularly convenient to know
Not to defend Musk here but tinkering for the sake of saying you make a change is exactly the kind of consumerism junk we should avoid
There wouldn’t be a problem with year and part numbers if they didn’t arbitrarily changed it just to be able to market the “all new” cuz
I have a Prius and it’s a pita for parts because some refer to it by year, some by generation, some by trim (even if the part has nothing to do with the trim, etc)
I would love to just be able to say Prius gen 4 and be done

We’ll Tesla’s happen to be a shitty book cover to cover, written by an asshole.
So they could at least try to make the cover appealing, even if they are incapable of making the rest of it so.
