This thing is even more ugly in person

Wait till you see what happens to it in the rain

I've seen a few of these around town in the last month or so. Probably because the Tesla engineering center is on one of my frequent bike routes. My wife agrees 100% with BowDown's assessment.

I'm a little different. I agree that the shape is odd and certainly isn't beautiful in any conventional sense. But it is quirky and I like it. What I don't like is the stainless steel finish. Even from across an intersection, the car seems to show handprints and other grease smudges. I don't see how anybody can keep it looking clean. It doesn't even have a macho "I've been playing in the mud" look. More like a "I'm too lazy to keep my truck looking nice" appearance.

Angular, not graceful. It's rumored that some of them are starting to rust. Depending on the alloy, stain-less does not necessarily mean stain-free. Will we see a variety of "wraps", maybe even surrender to paint? Not for me, I think, but interesting...

Still a big ol NOPE

Looks like a lifted Delorean but much worse lol, I’m sure you’ll see enough of them on the road from people who want different and have more money than brains.

Rust can't hurt its looks.

I know I saw this mentioned somewhere before, but I have to agree that it looks like something we all drew in grade school.

I'm sure its compensating for something...

At least compensating for the fact that it's the only wiper on a really huge windshield. Looks to me like your basic single point failure. Beyond that, it's hard to tell.

For some reason, this put a crazy idea in my head. Who's up for electric demolition derbies?

These are actually problem vehicles that Tesla sent off to be scrapped.
