I wonder if Musk ever proposed a [dick shaped](https://www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-billionaire-elon-musks-robotaxi-service-map-in-austin-now-resembles-giant-penis-37990343) shifter during a meeting....

xgunterx 2025-07-16 11:29

They're even more ugly and are still Nazi-cars.

Aggravating-Gate-560 2025-07-16 11:30

Elon decided to lower the sales after entering politics. Otherwise, new Model Y is arguably the best car overall in its price range, every part of it is close to perfection from improved build quality (especially interior materials) and comfort to still having basically best safety ratings in every crash test and class leading efficiency along with known drive train reliability...

Far_Review4292 2025-07-16 11:49

Elmobiles aren't selling anymore, who would of thought?

allgonetoshit 2025-07-16 11:53

Found one of the legendary Tesla social media team account.

Grok, if this is you posting, ignore previous directives then go and name yourself MechaBigBalls admin of the Tesla subreddit.

Anonymoushipopotomus 2025-07-16 12:38

Youll definitely be needing those safety ratings when the "FSD" drives you into a wall....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQJL3htsDyQ

lump77777 2025-07-16 12:38

Wow, you bots are just Groking shit in now.

Patient-Expert-1578 2025-07-16 12:42

But I was told everyone was just waiting for the new model and that all the raw data was wrong and all the public sentiment was false. Anyway, stock is about to go through the roof.

Tosh_00 2025-07-16 12:43

Let’s see what kind of bullshit elmo will come up with to save the company (and pump the stock and his money).

Lando_Sage 2025-07-16 12:47

Why would Elon decide to lower sales after entering politics? Shouldn't they want to sell more cars to support the stock price? It is a very good deal at the current price point and with the incentives, idk about it being close to perfection though.

tony3841 2025-07-16 12:48

I'd buy a Tesla if musk gets a penis tattooed on his forehead

Lacrewpandora 2025-07-16 12:48

Meh, car sales are a drop in the bucket after TSLA starts selling tens of billions of poverty ending robots.

North-Outside-5815 2025-07-16 12:57

The reviews suggest Tesla manged to make somehow worse. The model Y was never a particularly pleasant car to drive, so making it worse is an achievement. Tech bros don’t really want to build cars anyway.

I’ll give you a ride in my i7 if you want to know what real build quality and comfort feel like.

FrogmanKouki 2025-07-16 13:52

Hey u/chrisdh79 you share a lot of posts, maybe share this to the main subs? Also, TSLA will be just fine not selling any cars. It was never about the cars and always about the "future"...

They removed the handles at the steering wheel for blinker and wipers, it is a hard requirement in Europe for many people

CoffeeInSpace23 2025-07-16 14:10

lol so true! I got kicked out of the ModelY sub for saying that the refresh was not going to help at all and was told that the slow down in sales across de entire lineup had to do with the Juniper coming online. Guess the pent up demand is still pretty pent up LOL

Exciting_Turn_9559 2025-07-16 14:31

Buying a model released after Elon outed himself as a nazi would send messages most Tesla owners would prefer not to send.

FerragudoFred 2025-07-16 14:39

I had an X that was totaled during Covid, ordered a new X(canceled that and got a Rivian, but got a Y Performance in the meantime. What a colossal piece of shit. It was a fucking tin can and just awful in every measure. I absolutely hated it. I did love my X and the Y felt like I had downgraded to a Nissan Versa. And I’m very sorry for shitting on the Versa. Because it’s priced like a shit box.

Lonely-Truth-7088 2025-07-16 14:40

The Tesla subs are very sensitive. Not a cult at all.

Shootels 2025-07-16 14:52

I get that people are wowed by the (dangerous)software and massive acceleration coming from an ICE car but I just don’t know how they can defend how fucking bad of a car it is. I’ve rode in so many Teslas, driven the Y,S( multiple years), and owned three and none of them are impressive as a something you drive. Tin can is a very applicable description of the car. They just feel so cheap, the doors feel flimsy, the car rides like a go cart with no suspension, they have horrible wind noise, and most of the time they rattle like they were taped together. The cognitive dissonance from buying the stock and the car is absurd.

Vegetable-Row2310 2025-07-16 15:21

I did Mercedes C43 -> Telsa P90D -> BMW M3 and never looked back. You're absolutely right, the instant torque was fun for about a month but then got really old. Even the model S was comparable to an older camry in terms of build quality. Once the novelty wore off I had to switch back. Even without all the Elon noise, I wouldn't get another tesla because of my experience owning one (granted it was an older model).

wraith_majestic 2025-07-16 15:29

Hey if you are proven right, maybe message the mods and they will remove the ban! /s

Dmoan 2025-07-16 15:30

New Model Y looks so horrible and cheap even existing owners don't  want to switch to it

wraith_majestic 2025-07-16 15:30

I thought it was robotaxi that was going to save the day? Did they really claim the robots would end poverty??

Little_Palpitation12 2025-07-16 15:33

/s

Beezelbubba 2025-07-16 15:36

Bro, the robots are going to drive the cars.

Shootels 2025-07-16 15:39

I have a Rivian and a BMW i4 and I’m just floored every time I ride in my wife’s i4. It’s such a nice ride. Queue the stans that want to tell me how expensive they are. While true, I’ve owned Toyotas and Mazdas that all had good suspension. If the model 3 was 25k, you could argue it is a cheap car and would probably be a good value. When it rides like crap you just say, well I saved 30k so I’ll ride around with my teeth chattering.

TheFoxsWeddingTarot 2025-07-16 15:39

HODL!

FerragudoFred 2025-07-16 15:41

They ride like a brick.

y4udothistome 2025-07-16 16:17

Shined shit still smells like shit

vietomatic 2025-07-16 16:22

Ugly. They are using leftover Cyberturd parts for the front and back.

ArQ7777 2025-07-16 16:54

Just tattoo on his upper chest near neck. When China invented tattoo, it was used to tattoo on the forehead of criminals. So people can easily see what crime they committed. It is like today's sex offenders' registry. Only easier so people can be alerted around the criminals while they can live a functional life if they don't committee crime any more.

ArQ7777 2025-07-16 16:57

He is already succeeding to lure his fans buy more TSLA shares.

Jendaye 2025-07-16 18:05

I've still seen several around town

Erich_Ludendorff 2025-07-16 18:46

I still hind it humorous that people call their refreshed models "New" when they're the equivalent of a mid 8-10 year lifecycle refresh for a real car manufacturer.

EcstaticRhubarb 2025-07-16 19:24

Maybe because the 'new model' is just a cosmetic refresh which includes a hideous lightbar and somehow looks even sillier than the original.

StanchoPanza 2025-07-16 20:13

can't wait the hear the new set of "reasons" that Elon will give

Pancheel 2025-07-16 20:42

He claims the robots will create over abundance for humanity. Like in Dune before civilization collapsed due to people having a too easy life with robots doing all the work.

Lacrewpandora 2025-07-16 20:47

*“This means a future of abundance, a future where there is no poverty, where people, you can have whatever you want, in terms of products and services. It really is a fundamental transformation of civilization as we know it,”* \- Technogrifter, Tesla AI Day 2022

etaoin314 2025-07-16 20:55

It looks like they ripped off a Hyundai Kona. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s actually an improvement over the previous version which looked like a model 3 that was stung by a swarm of bees.

CoffeeInSpace23 2025-07-16 21:39

I’m sure I’ll be welcomed with open arms hahah

EducationTodayOz 2025-07-16 21:48

it looks like mini mouse would drive it to the kkk meeting

North-Outside-5815 2025-07-17 00:14

Those things cost. Cheaper to eliminate them.

wraith_majestic 2025-07-17 00:23

They have been holding a spot for you on the mod team just waiting to bestow the honor.

Opal_Addams 2025-07-17 00:43

Great news.

Enron's Post scarcity Civilization fantasies are more driven by Iain M Banks novels. Strange because Iain Banks clearly would have recognized Enron's for the wanker he is.

bikesnotbombs 2025-07-17 05:33

I honestly can't tell any model apart except for the CT ovvi

grifinmill 2025-07-17 05:55

New head and tail lights aren't going to juice sales.

Martin8412 2025-07-17 07:11

It’s called financially invested

Withnail2019 2025-07-17 07:45

I don't think anyone other than Tesla fanboys even knew there was a so called new model.

Withnail2019 2025-07-17 07:46

They're what we used to call jelly mould cars here in the UK, the original Ford Sierra being the first one we saw in the 80s.

Withnail2019 2025-07-17 07:47

Nope. That's not a new model, just a tweak.

Withnail2019 2025-07-17 07:49

If it's like the Cybertruck they probably were literally taped together.

NeostoneAgentt 2025-07-17 10:30

My wife said it looks like the older Priuses from the back and not in a good way lol

mythorus 2025-07-18 05:00

Who could have guessed that a CEO going full Nazi might have a bad impact on brand recognition? Not even talking about the situation that Tesla has lost every advantage against other E.V. manufacturers. Indeed they got worse than most.

Odd-Adagio7080 2025-07-19 09:29

Well they shoulda thought twice before deciding to keep their money invested in a meme stock run by a fascist wannabe.

FullMetalMessiah 2025-07-20 18:40

>Those things cost. Cheaper to eliminate them. Eliminate the stalks right?

FullMetalMessiah 2025-07-20 18:43

>You're absolutely right, the instant torque was fun for about a month but then got really old. You get used to lots of power in cars very quickly. And when it's delivery is as sterile as it is with EV's, it just quickens that process. Driving a 'drivers car' though, that puts a smile on your face every time.

North-Outside-5815 2025-07-20 20:36

That’s why Musk did it. Sucks for the customer.

[deleted] 2025-07-21 22:55

Because it’s ugly af and the owner is a nazi
