Your car IS an exotic car well beyond the means of most people to afford.

Yeah, it's funny reading his promotion of one of the most expensive sedans in the world as being somehow "underrated" lol. Even funnier when you consider it has the panel gaps and material quality of an AliExpress gaming console, but it doesn't matter because "the interior looks like a space ship".

  Panel gaps are hard with heavier EVs maybe? https://www.motorbiscuit.com/looks-like-porsche-taycans-have-huge-quality-issues/ https://www.motorbiscuit.com/looks-like-porsche-taycans-have...

  Not to mention Tesla's fantastic quality control... ... where >70% of brand new Teslas require at least one service center visit in the first 30 days to correct a factory defect...

    And yet, best selling car! Sell what people want, not what people gripe about online.

Your citation is six months old. > Last year, the Model Y was the best-selling vehicle in Europe and California, the fourth best-selling in China despite China’s different tastes and model availability compared to the rest of the world, and was on the US top ten list but significantly behind several trucks and SUVs. These performances made it the third-best selling car worldwide. > But now, it looks like Tesla’s #1 sales prediction has come true. The Model Y has dethroned the Toyota Corolla as the world’s best-selling car in Q1 and looks like it may well maintain this position for the full year.

        As numerous other commenters have noted, who the hell knows with Tesla? They announced and had an ad campaign that they were the best selling car in Australia, which surprised Toyota. And Australia's consumer watchdog, and it was discovered that they were not even close, and had been counting pre-orders and other such things, factory used sales as new, etc., and the DOL registration data proved it wrong. That being said, yes, the MY sells very well. But even in Electrek's article, you can see the weasel words... "significantly behind several trucks and SUVs", and then "but now, it's #1 sales prediction comes true", and then the goalposts silently shift, "best selling car" (because it is still being outsold by some of those trucks and SUVs).

  Maybe the US/Fremont version has these panels gaps, the ones built in China and Europe don‘t.

EVs are still relatively expensive, but even the ones priced closer to an average car price are remarkably quiet, feel quick, and ground-up EV designs offer more space.

  Indeed, although one priced closer to an average car would have basically zero of the features in the original poster's review.

    A standard-issue Tesla 3 with no optional frills checks these boxes: seat 5, has lots of storage in the trunk + frunk, an 18" screen, self driving is great, the phone placement is the most optimal I've ever seen in a car, no key needed (just walk up to the car and it knows you are you because of your phone, or use a credit card style key), and the audio system is outstanding. Oh, and the white interior looks like a space ship, makes no noise, has long range, has a screen in the front to watch Netflix and YouTube.

      This is not what the GP was talking about and a standard model 3, which is less then half the price of the car they described, it’s still luxury priced and until this year? Was about double the average American car price. I would sincerely hope when your paying that much you get a good car.

        Factoring in EV incentives, in places like Oregon a Model 3 is literally the same price as a Toyota Corolla these days. https://www.motorbiscuit.com/2023-tesla-model-3-cheap-toyota-corolla-some-places/ https://www.motorbiscuit.com/2023-tesla-model-3-cheap-toyota...
