Model Y - Belfast Photos

I think you all mistake the lack of a grill to be bland.... its just not needed and therefore the Cd is lower..... grills are for Dino powered cars embrace the future..... or it'll leave you behind hahaha

The grill or lack of isn't really a factor, cutting edge technology aside - this side profile just doesn't do anything at all for me

Reminds me of some budget bland people mover from a manufacturer who make cars for people who don't like cars

 

[Rocko]

They're not for everyone. Some people like to drive slow petrol cars...

They are no style icon for sure. That being said if you look past the face they are an exceptionally good family mover. Interior space, economy, performance, tech - in those areas they are unrivalled, and in the cold light of daily use sitting in the drivers seat, those factors matter.

Nope, still brutal looking

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder …. With that said what is a good looking alternative? Wondering what you find attractive or even acceptable

I really don’t like how any of the Teslas look but all said and done I’d still drive one if I could afford to. I don’t look at the Passat and think that’s a good looking car either.

I like the styling but I think they could do more with colour options

Agreed , colours are a little limited in choice , #Wrap but $$$ but at least paint would be protected.

There is a neon yellow wrapped model 3 in Gilnahirk

Fantastic photos. I can't help thinking the model Y looks like someone in design literally stretched the 3 in photoshop then took 6 months off work. Not that convinced that's a good thing. Really clean in black or blue with performance wheels they look a bit better. I've no doubt it would be an incredible family car regardless.

I was surprised at how big it was when I seen one in person, it's a quare unit

In that case, they should stop making it look like there's supposed to be a grille there.

Lol why is there supposed to be a grill …. There isn’t a huge explosion maker behind there to keep from destroying itself we are conditioned to expect cars to have grills … that’s all

Because they destroy themselves closer to the driver and burn for days

Takes a special kind of person to come in to a new car thread and tell the proud new owner it looks awful.

I thought the Y was just a hatchback version of the 3 but its surprisingly larger. Would make an awesome family car, especially when the 7 seat version is available in Europe. When I was in yesterday getting my charge port replaced there were about 100 new 3/Y sitting outside and there were hardly any white ones!

Whilst the looks aren't for everyone, I personally don't mind them. Few little cosmetic touches and the Tesla's look well. Just look at @big_pete 's 3.

You have to give it to Tesla though in relation to how far they have come in a relatively short time. The level of tech, range, etc you get for the money is excellent compared to some other manufacturers.

 

[Boydie]

I would have one tomorrow if I could afford it - looks aside, the performance, tech and economy would make me quickly forget about it

 

[southsky sunrise]

I’m with @Boydie in the retrospect I could justify having a car full stop, I love @big_pete s one but on a public car forum you can’t expect everyone to love everything we have, it would be a dull world, some people need to lighten up abit and take criticism good and bad. It takes all sorts to make the world work

 

[Rocko]

All your petrol cars are sh*te.

YEO etc.

Couldn't agree more, so why come in and say someones new car looks wick.

I’ve been told that to my face before more than once.
