>>The only reason Tesla succeeded is by making sexy car.
I literally don't know anyone who thinks Teslas look sexy - they are like bars of soap, nothing "sexy" about them. But I also know plenty of people who own them, because of their superior battery tech, crazy efficiency, and the supercharger network. I don't know anyone who bought a car because it's "sexy" maybe other than one friend of mine who bought an Alfa Romeo Gulia because it "looks cool" - the argument that it's just a rebranded Fiat Punto never really worked on her unfortunately.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoModel S and Roadster are sexy enough - they are the cars that decided teslas fate. Mind you the competition at the time was only a Prius, which only last year became reasonably good looking. Model 3 and Y are worlds best selling cars. By definition they have to be boring.
- potato3732842 2y agoYou're missing the point. EVs weren't really economically viable at the entry level. Tesla was the first company to figure out how to design, style and market an EV for higher end customers at price points where it could actually compete decently against ICEs both on paper and in actual ownership experience.
- badpun 2y agoI don't think Gulia and Punto have much in common. Did you mean a different car?
- gambiting 2y agoAh yes I meant the Alfa Romeo MiTo, sorry got this wrong.
