Are Teslas 'flashy' or do people not really care anymore? Model Y specifically

[Anonymous]

Not flashy. I think “wanna be” because they are the cheap version of a Tesla.

I have a 3 and wish I had waited for the Y. Not flashy - my Odyssey minivan was more expensive than my 3.

(And Elon Musk is so juvenile. His cars are the S 3 X Y models.)

I think it looks a little flashy with those optional big 21" dark wheels. The standard 19" silver wheels make it look 'dorkier' and it blends in far more, I think.

I think it will be fine. Tesla’s are very popular so they’re often seen on the road. I don’t think your work situation will judge?

Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt. Very similar to the Model Y is the new Ford “Mustang” Mach E.

Is this the model that looks like a rotisserie chicken container?

The only flashy Tesla models are Model S and Model X.

I’m not sure that’s true - a base accord starts around $24k and a base Tesla 3 starts around $36k - in five years time I don’t think it’s a wash in terms of cost. There’s less maintenance on the Tesla, but when that battery dies it will probably be expensive to replace.

Not flashy if that's it above. I drive a 50k+ car, and it is not flashy for sure.

If you test drive a Nissan Leaf and a Tesla, you won't choose the Nissan. I don't think Teslas are flashy. Maybe they were in the beginning, but they are all over.

There are too many Teslas around here that nobody much cares anymore.

Yes, the “SUV”

They may not be flashy, but they also don't scream "fiscally conservative".

If you want to look financially modest, I wouldn't get a Tesla.

But if it was, i also wouldn't give an f

drive what you want to drive

My friends in Michigan, home of old fashioned American cars, say they’re flashy.

True. DS took a Tesla Model X to college in Michigan, and he said it draws way more attention and questions here where nobody even looks at it.

No they are not flashy nor will they upgrade your status. Don’t buy if you are a vain person. But if you like the EV technology and/or care about the environment.

Still flashy.

Not flashy at all
