Hello, not sure if this has been posted already, I’ve spotted a different Model Y in Romania last night. It seems to be the budget Model Y version I’ve been seeing news about.
this is dogshit
I'm surprised how that slight change makes the front look 💩
Disagree but im personally just not a fan of light bars on cars in general. I still think its a terrible value for what you lose tho. Steelies on a $40k+ car is insane 💀
It looks like it is an early prototype car. So bad.
Kinda just looks fine imo.
Ive seen prettier 40 years old Dacias
Lmao, light bar doesn’t make a car look great. This looks MILES better than the cybertruck-esque string cheese of lights you get.
imo pretty much all entry models from Tesla a pretty bad value compared to the mid configurations
Europoor 🥴
The front of the new model 3 is so good in comparison
Value for money is not super. But the looks are okay to me. I like the cloth seats too compared to my legacy model.
Quite the frunk
It looks sad
Why compromise with Fine. This is not 1920.
Not a fan.
Didn't like new model y, thought the light bar looked bad, somehow this looks worse, impressive! Good find tho.
Am I missing something about the 1920s where everyone wanted fine...? I just think it looks fine. So long as it doesn't look *awful* a vehicle can still be a purchase candidate for me. And if the price is right, people will be attracted to it.
New design is fugly
I saw one the other day tried to build it on the site and couldn’t figure out the config.
I am from the 20’s what’s wrong with fine?
I think it looked quite alright in real life. Saw one yesterday.
This thing has more features than a base BMW i4. Its 3000 euro’s cheaper than a Skoda Elroq with the bigger battery (which puts them on the same range) but has more space and features. The value for money on this is pretty damn good.
Beautiful, sleek
It looks ugly compared with previous model and it embodies Elon’s transition to evil by looking like a stormtrooper helmet. I was considering one a few years before the facelift, now there’s not technological advantage that saves it.
spotted the tesla shareholder. there's no instrument cluster or heads up display. to see ANYTHING, you have to take your eyes completely off the road to look at the central screen. also you get no functional indicator or light stalks. it's the barest shell of a car. and that goes for the more expensive Y (and 3) models too, not just this POS. you need to spend thousands on third party add-ons from AliExpress to make it useable. you also have the luxury of being trapped inside the car if power fails.
What are you talking about? You move your eyes the same distance to see the speed in a Tesla as you do in any other car. The only difference is that instead of straight down it's down/right. But it's not any further from the road. And there are indicator stalks.
No technological advantage? FSD alone is far ahead of anything else you can get in literally any other car.
i assume you think all potential tesla customers have never driven a car before or have no brain?
More does not equal better. You also have to remember you are comparing a cheapo to a premium. Quite a big difference in feel and things you can actually touch and interact with between BMW and Tesla. The i-BMWs also tend to hold their value really well in comparison.
It took me maybe a couple days to fully get used to. It's not hard at all.
All I see is “ -__- “
As does Mini and Volvo, and no one complains there. The Model 3 and Y both have indicator stalks, and many cars don’t have light stalks. And it has a mechanical door handle. WTF are you talking about?
You mean those hard plastics on everything below the waist on BMW? You mean the single glazing on the BMW? The manual seats? There really is not a big difference in feel and build quality between a BMW and Tesla nowadays. At least not here in europe where we have the Chinese and German Tesla’s
Like physical gear lever and regen lever. Actual functioning door handles. HUD and screen behind the wheel. You know thise everyday things that should be there by default. I do give you that BMW has gone backwards with premium feel with the big screen stuff but still miles ahead of Tesla.
Excepting you cannot get FSD in the EU. So it is by your definition no better than any other car in the EU. Source my Model S has FSD purchased and active and I am in the EU.
That wasn't my definition, but yes, it's a shame that your regulators are so slow and backward. I really hope you get access to it soon, because it's incredible.
You didn’t understand. I said that no matter what advantage they bring, it won’t change my mind. Is an ugly car in design and soul.
Ah, I guess I did misunderstand. I disagree though. I think it looks nice too.
I don't need it when i do long journeys Autopilot does pretty much what I need and does it quite well. However the car pictured is in the EU, registered in Romania to be precise, so my point stands FSD is not a reason for purchasing that Tesla over literally any other manufacturer.
You have absolutely no idea what you're missing.
I do.
No, you don't. Autosteer isn't even remotely close to FSD.
I actually think the front is nicer than the uni brow.
Kinda slightly looking like ioniq now.
I don’t hate it.
It looks better
marshmellow with “- -“ ———
FWIW Not once in the last seven years, have I missed a screen behind the steering wheel, or lack of hud.
Money?
Ah yes the Model Why
It is quite nice having speed, media info and navigation all in the HUD to take a glance at without taking eyes off the road.
🤮
I understand that's your opinion, but I don't need or want clutter distracting me when I'm driving - for me (and I assume others) it's nice being able to **focus on the road.** I strongly disagree that you need "these everyday things by default".
The thing is to avoid distraction when not having to look away from the road. Id argue that knowing the speed is fairly critical… You dont think Model Y center screen is cluttered?
No, I don’t find the screen cluttered. Speed is always in that corne if I need it. However I use cruise control 99% of the time, as it’s safer than “manually” driving. The car has better response times than I do if a child runs into the road. No offence meant to you, but a driver who can’t **feel** that they are speeding isn’t a very good driver, heh. Have you daily driven a Y or 3?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in the wild.
> there's no instrument cluster or heads up display. to see ANYTHING, you have to take your eyes completely off the road to look at the central screen Huh? The speedometer is just as close as with any other car without a HUD. > also you get no functional indicator or light stalks. It does have an indicator stalk, and it sure works. > you also have the luxury of being trapped inside the car if power fails. No? There's mechanical releases on all doors.
It’s the “Standard” Model Y
That face look bad honestly. Not attractive at all imo
Money is fine.
Saw they were also building a police model off of this.
Nice, I’ve seen a few dual motors fitted as police cars, can’t remember where but it was here in the USA
I like how you assume I have never been to the USA or driven an FSD car there. You do you.
I actually see that (in)famous Austrian Painter 😅
I think that removing the lightbar makes the Y much closer to the 3 in aesthetics. Still i like more the new version
If you have HW3 you're not really missing anything these days. FSD has regressed substantially since they have continuously been "updating" FSD meant for HW4 cars into HW3 cars. FSD was significantly better last Spring and Summer and is now so frustrating that I swear Elon is trying to make it bad so that you purchase a new vehicle instead of having to eventually do a very expensive hardware update retrofit.
You certainly haven't used FSD v13 or v14 if you're saying this.
Yeah, i honestly like this a lot better than the standard one.
Calling BMW a premium brand while calling tesla a cheapo brand is interesting. Having tried both and compare the two with similar priced vehicle, i must say that BWM feels like a toycar full with plastic parts, while tesla atleast did some effort covering most plastic parts. And that's without talking about all the features a standard m3 or mY gets which even the premium BMW's don't have. But yeah, the more expensive BMW's are definitely more premium then a tesla m3 or mY. But it's kinda like comparing apples with televisions.
What are steelies?
Yep, people should try it out. Its like comparing blackberry to iPhone
Exactly.
The value is great in these. You aren’t taking into account how much development and money went into the software that controls the FSD and CAN system. It’s more than just physical features.
Generic steel wheels that are covered by a hubcap because they are so ugly. Used to be common but you rarely see them on even budget cars these days. https://preview.redd.it/cduas02f729g1.png?width=380&format=png&auto=webp&s=3bf693d4b8f1ec4c0e8fc2629942a6a5d1d23cfc
Eh, if you drive enough you value the saving from smaller wheels, and more importantly that hitting a pothole won't snap the wheel and pop the tire. Guess how I know........ But yeah if it was just a bit cheaper it would be better.
Value and Tesla slap in this face with this model is outragous... Stripped down piece of junk!
But as I understand the new cheap models don't support fsd
It's kinda sad that Tesla as of today has nothing else to propose than stripping down features on one of their old cars to try to compensate for their falling down sales. Meanwhile Chinese brands are launching tens and tens of new EVs every year, for all needs, I still don't understand why Tesla didn't even try to make a small/medium car for Europe, makes no sense.
They do, no free autopilot though
Lol no.
It looks like every generic, Asian designed, EV. The new M3 is the nicest.
Damn. I like it without the light bar ngl.
Beautiful
FSD is not used in EU anyway.
There’s still all the other advancements in technology in these cars that you won’t get from other cars
No autopilot is the value killer for me.
Whats the point of calling it a budget trim if model y is a budget model in an of itself?
Looks good to me
Do people really like it compared to the pre-facelift?
Looks like Bedford Falls
I’ve never been a fan of the word budget and anything tied to it. 😂
like Romanian low budget fine
looks nice
I Europe gets autopilot
that license plate redaction made the car look like hitler lol
