'Model Trash': Even Tesla Fans Are Slamming Its Hyped-Up Cheaper EVs
"Parts of the internet are now in full meltdown mode, delivering a pretty brutal response to the new models. Sure, the cars are cheaper, there's no denying that. And to make them cheaper, Tesla had to make certain concessions. But the argument from onlookers is that Tesla didn't innovateit stripped a bunch of key features instead and failed to lower the price enough to justify just how much the EVs were gutted."
""[C]oming from a huge Tesla fan and investor, mostly always positive about their decisions," posted one user. "But this is a bit of a disappointment, nobody financing at this price is gonna give up that many features for a 5k discount, doesn't make any sense to me at all." "The more you take away, the more people run away," wrote another, pointing out Tesla's already minimalist design. "Model Trash," wrote another."
Tesla launched lower-priced versions of the Model 3 and Model Y marketed as more affordable options. The price reductions were achieved by removing multiple features and making concessions to cut costs. Longtime fans and online communities reacted negatively, calling the new trims a poor value and criticizing specific deletions. Many users argued that a roughly $5,000 discount does not justify losing key features and that the cars feel gutted rather than innovated. Some commenters warned that the cheaper trims might fail to boost sales and could damage brand loyalty and desirability.
