I think my favorite part of the new refreshed model 3/Y is that now they both have their own identities. Side profile still looks like an extended 3, but the front and rear of both vehicles are now unique and don’t look like a copy of each other. Excited to see these in person

[@timeslowingdown]

I completely agree. The front looks too much like a Hyundai Kona EV now. The rear end looks... sort of random? The corners of the rears lights look like the old model but they just stretched the middle across into a light bar like every other company seems to be doing these days. Honestly I just think it's kinda boring. It looks okay but it already looks outdated. The Model 3 looked pretty unique for its time when it first came out. Now 8 years later, the designs for both models have gotten more generic. I feel like Tesla losing their edge in the ev market and the latest designs not being anything groundbreaking out special (besides the cybertruck I guess) isn't going to help. What would have been cool is if they made every model super angular like the cybertruck. That would have been way more exciting.

For the rear light bar it seems they used indirect lighting for the running light. The non-lit upside down L shape is probably the brake light, with the thinner horizontal bar below that the turn signal. The reverse lights are probably down in the bumper.

[@Josh-179]

The p7 is a sedan, the Y is a crossover, not even the same vehicle type. Nevertheless, xpend took many cues from the Model 3 designed in 2016 and shown in '17. The front lightbar is the CyberTrucks design that was designed in 2018-19. So Tesla looks like Tesla, any others that look similar copied Tesla. While the Chinese have greatly improved on original design lately, they've always copied western companies.

[@Breadfan00]

That rear looks like some genius production savings. When you put it side by side with the old one, the lower trunk panel is exactly the same until the light bar, so they could probably use the same press, even though it's a totally new rear look with the plate gone, the light bar and all

[@LittleMissSmallPaw]

Don't know about the back, it's either new fancy lightbar or old lights. not both.

[@momotart]

I think the front indicators are the little slit inside the sides of the light bar. If it follows the new 3, the curved top piece of the taillight will be the indicators but I think those will end up being brake lights and the flat horizontal ones will be the indicators. The taillight bar works like cove lighting. The light is hidden in the bar and pointed at the body of the car so it reflects the light and that's what we're seeing.

First impressions, I liked (but not loved) it. Since then I've seen it next to the current version and it's lost a little cohesion, but certainly not bad. I'm not a huge fan of the cybercab and cybertruck lights, but this is the best implementation of that style to date. For me, the real win was them keeping the indicator stalk. Car companies have started taking the piss with there cost cutting BS, so glad they listened in this instance at least.

[@Station2Station-du2gh]

Porsche Macan EV is doing that "headlights in the bumper" design, and lights higher up in the hood are just DRL's. I dislike "Hot Take" videos but this was well thought out and I agree with many of your points. Good job. Thumbs up given.

U see the macan and think porsche and that's it. Same can't be said for this design.

@ Whatever you see in the Macan, I don’t. It’s a handsome car, but really not much better looking than a Mazda CX-5 or any of the numerous other rounded mid-size SUVs. There’s only so much you can do with a two box design.

@@PEACEOUTXX1 You can tell apart a Tesla Model Y from a sea of generic boxy SUVs, bland is not the right word for it.

[@tafl-9198]

Looks fine but I do find the design a bit lazy / “uninventive”. Looks like a Chinese EV now. Loose the light bar, the separated headlights (like robocap) and the air intakes (like Model 3. At least on RWD models that dont need brake cooling as much as AWD/Perf models). That would give a very clean and unique look (and easy to clean with no air intakes 😉). Also believe removing the air intakes would improve drag coefficient like on Model 3, but what do I know 😅

[@PEACEOUTXX1]

Eine neue Front und neue Heckleuchten machen noch keinen Sommer... Wenn man bedenkt, dass Tesla in der Vergangenheit oft mit Innovationen und mutigem Design gepunktet hat. Die Erwartungen an einen neuen Model Y sind entsprechend hoch, und wenn die Änderungen als eher moderat wahrgenommen werden, könnte das durchaus enttäuschen. Die Konkurrenz - vor allem aus China und Deutschland - mittlerweile starke Alternativen mit modernem Design und hochwertigen Innenräumen bietet. Marken wie Audi setzen auf eine Mischung aus Technologie, Komfort und Design, die viele Käufer anspricht. Allerdings bleibt Tesla in Bereichen wie Effizienz, Reichweite und Ladeinfrastruktur weiterhin stark, was für viele Käufer ausschlaggebend ist. Nur 3% Reichweitenzuwachs ist aber einfach zu wenig. Für jemanden, der bereits ein Fahrzeug wie den Audi Q4 e-tron fährt, könnten diese Vorteile nicht stark genug wiegen, um einen Wechsel zu rechtfertigen, wenn das Gesamtpaket optisch und haptisch nicht mithalten kann. Vielleicht hat Tesla ein "großes Update" für ein späteres Modell in der Hinterhand - das bleibt abzuwarten. Aber für den Moment könnten sie einige potenzielle Käufer enttäuscht zurücklassen. Schade das Testa es versäumt hat etwas wirklich Spektakuläres neues zu bringen. Da macht der XPeng 6 ja mehr her... Das kommt eben raus, wenn sich der Firmenchef mit anderen Dingen wie wie die Einmischung in die Politik beschäftigt…
