    Fuck Elon, but dammit, Tesla cars look sleek, this guy is wrong.

    And Superchargers >>>> Every other charger as of right now.

      They look old compared to other new cars, i’ve seen enough of that design.

      The Tesla Y gotta be one of the ugliest cars from behind that i know, it does look like a Model 3 just out of proportion.

        Yeah the Y is proportionally all wrong haha, it looks like an overweight 3. The only Tesla I like is the S but still much prefer an i4, or even an EQE.

          or even an EQE

          the front just doesn’t look good imo. they just replaced the… grill? (idk what you call that) with a flat piece of carbon instead of just
          a) removing that part of the design (like tesla did with the model 3) or
          b) putting a fake-grill on the front

          it looks okay otherwise, so i guess if you want to you could also just replace that plate with a grill

        Polestar 2 has only 1 cupholder and is cramped. I don’t get who would buy a Polestar over a Model 3 after test driving both.

          It has two cup holders. I guess you haven’t actually driven one. I’m 184cm tall and over 100kg, and the car doesn’t seem cramped to me, either, but that’s subjective.

            A cupholder under the armrest isn’t a cupholder and this image alone shows how ridiculous/dumb of a design this is: https://www.volvocars.com/images/support/img5c7d9f20d8d926b0c0a8015245a6464c_1_--_--_VOICEpnghigh.png

            Half the center area is taken with the gear selector for no good reason. Mercedes perfected the shifter when it introduced this: https://images.carsaver.com/evox/stills_white_0640/MY2020/14351/14351_st0640_087.jpg Tesla then copied it (first gen Model S and Model X were actually the Mercedes parts/Tesla bought the parts from Mercedes).

            Why does Polestar/Volvo keep taking up half the center area for something completely unnecessary and more annoying to use. I know not everyone has used the Mercedes/Tesla shifter but it’s literally the most intuitive way to shift into drive/reverse/park and allows for storage/more than 1 cup holder for the front seats.

            I have driven it and it’s a decent car but it is cramped compared to a Model 3. I’m not saying bigger drivers won’t fit, it’s just there’s not much room and for the same money you can get a Model 3 which feels a lot bigger and the seats felt a lot more comfortable in the Model 3. Some other dumb design is they take away a bit of the front sunroof so that it can reflect its logo on it. Why? So dumb. When I first sat in the car I asked if that’s where you store your glasses and that’s when they told me about the dumb reflection. The cluster screen is nice but the rest of the tech kinda sucks (compared to Tesla’s tech)

              It’s still a cupholder even if it’s not the most conveniently positioned. Passenger side person can use it easily. My so drives a Mercedes and I personally prefer the center gear switcher instead of resting my arm and accidentally activating the touchpad control in the Mercedes because it’s annoyingly positioned. The Mercs cruise control is also very inconveniently placed for my preference. I could actually live without the sunroof altogether, and am glad it’s not any larger than it is.

              No complaints about the tech apart from still having to wait for Android Auto.

              I suppose it’s just a matter of taste question in the end.

          If you’re referring to the LTT video, it was weird. Maybe I’ve got my seat setup differently, but right arm on armrest and left against the doors little rest is how it’s for me.
