MotorTrend Staff Writers Miraculously Retain Jobs After Declaring Model Y Performance "Delivers The Ultimate Glory Of A Performance SUV"

The Tesla Model Y Performance recently underwent a detailed first drive review from MotorTrend, which highlighted several points of modern ingenuity that the electric automaker incorporated into its first mainstream crossover. The analysis does not cover the straightforward aspects that the Model Y has, like Autopilot capabilities, battery capacity, or range. It is a clear and concise explanation of why the car won over MotorTrend’s staff.

“The Model Y Performance delivers the ultimate glory of a performance SUV,” the esteemed motoring publication stated.

Except that's not an SUV or even a crossover. It's just an ungainly hatchback.

I have no doubt the acceleration is intoxicating, but there is a whole bunch more to it than 0-60.

It handles well, has super responsive AWD, amazing range, and a spacious interior. Not to mention Autopilot and the best infotainment system around. It's not perfect, but it's better than the 3 in just about every way and we all saw how model 3 sales have been doing over the past couple years.

You're such a snippy, little-man asshole.

The Model Y is exceedingly poor in its conceptualization and realization.

And you'd agree with that if you weren't so caught up being overcompensatory.

I think they nailed the concept, but have yet to actually see one on the road which is shocking. I've only seen one in person on the last investor day and one on a transporter. The fast that it is selling at a $6k markup over an equivalent Model 3 speaks volumes.

It seems to me you looooove posting snide remarks and clever insults 20 times a day, but fly off the handle in a rage anytime anyone gives it back to you. It's hilarious.
