Does (did?) Tesla have the right idea?

[DodgyGeezer]

we're now a few weeks into Model Y ownership and I think that I have got the whole design and USP of Tesla 3/Y figured out... it's really an anti-car car. Don't misunderstand me, it seems to be reasonably well put together (not as well as it should be for the money, but not badly put together) and a reasonably inoffensive design. It is really in all senses of the word automotive mediocrity or the automotive equivalent of 'elevator-muzak' bland/inoffensive that no-one actually likes but is not bad enough to change the channel.

I do like a lot of things about the Y but as a design it's all a little anonymous - and that's fine: by being that way (and pitching it as a premium product cf. Apple products) it doesn't elicit strong feelings either way (a little like the colour choices of most cars these days) which, when added to the admittedly excellent software, makes it weirdly desirable.

Am I wrong?
