More Cheap 'Diet' Tesla Models
I am NOT a Fan
Tesla just released the new "Diet" Model Y and Model 3, and I am NOT impressed. I think Tesla trying to move downmarket is a big mistake as these stripped down models lose their mojo. It's like John Travolta once said "If you are going to have a chocolate chip cookie, have a chocolate chip cookie." Nobody wants a diet chocolate chip cookie with 3 chocolate chips.
I recently wrote in detail about how stupid the stripped own 2WD CyberTruck was that Tesla released, only to discontinue it almost immediately afterward as nobody purchased them. In my opinion, these stopped down models are must a pathetic cash-grab from Tesla, which is very short sighted. I recall the Porsche 912, which was a 4 cylinder 911, that didn't last long either, and that's for a reason.
With the watered down 2WD CyberTruck Tesla was like, "Hey, we lowered the price by $10K!!!!" and I was like, "Yeah, but you removed $20K worth of cool features!?!!" Same thing here. Tesla lowered the price by $5k, and removed $10K worth of feature. All I see here is "Cash Grab, Cash Grab, Cash Grab!!!!" and I don't like this cheap strategy.
On a positive note, I will say I like the aesthetic of the new Model Y better which lacks the CyberTruck-like lightbar. I think removing the lightbar gives it a cleaner, more minimalist look and vibe. On a negative note, cloth seats, YUUUUUUUUCK!!!!
