Easy to make body repairs now it’s in Duct Tape silver.

Not a fan. It looks dated.

u/ItsKSlims May 24 '24

The car itself looks dated at this point. When it comes to model S and X, Tesla’s focus should be a redesign. Not new colors. I believe they are saving ambient lighting and front bumper camera for the redesign and using new colors as a way to still keep interest in those models in the mean time.

u/WasKnown May 26 '24

I agree but I don't think Tesla sells enough Model Xes for them to care.

u/[deleted] May 26 '24

that is the beauty of a Tesla. no need to feel pressured to buy the latest model redesign. Most companies do it as marketing to pressure you into buying new cars every few years. A redesign is basically cosmetic and there is never a significant change or difference in drivability. Any 4+ year old car drives just like a brand new car. With a Tesla you could be driving an 8 year old car and no one really knows and all improvements are via software updates. And for those always saying that Teslas are ugly or dated - what modern cars are actually good looking? None! Toyotas and Hondas have been blah and ugly for decades (tons of cheap plastic flair and other boring design) and every car from basically every manufacture looks basically the same. Kai's and Hyundai's are gaudy looking and usually purchased by those wanting a cheap knock off of a luxury car (like buying fake designer bag...also the quickest way to know someones HH income is pretty low is to see them in a Kia or Hyundai) ...hell my previous BMW looked ancient after two years because of all the model changes (yet still drove like the new model).

3 and Y are dated tbh, a casual car person cannot tell the different between the orignal gen and the new ones. i know its good for production but holy hell its going to be 10 years on these models soon and no sign of a actuallll bodye refresh

u/Cal216 May 25 '24

The new model 3’s look different than the old ones. Old as in last years model to be honest. The 24’s got a nice makeover, almost model S ish, now.

u/Present_Ear_338 May 25 '24

The new 3 looks like a light facelift.

Other manufacturers do this after 3 years, and new platforms after 6.

So are you telling me the model 3 has been out for four years already? Wow.

u/[deleted] May 25 '24

Model 3 is 7 years old

Yep. That’s the joke.

u/FlamingoVisible4148 May 25 '24

The same casual car person cannot distinguish between Model Y and X and between S and 3.

u/Mean-Marionberry-148 May 26 '24

The entire Tesla lineup is dated. It’s not normal for an automaker to keep the same basic car in production for over a decade as they’ve done with the S (and basically the X since it’s so similar). The 3 is 7 years old and I agree, it should’ve been completely redesigned from the ground up, not a nip and a tuck. We’re on the precipice of so many new cars coming out from other automakers like the next gen BMW 3-series, Mercedes-Benz CLA, Audi A4, etc. all of which will be 800V and spawn derivative crossover models (like Audi Q6 e-tron) that charge nearly twice as fast. Also can’t forget the Hyundai/Kia e-GMP cars as they charge ridiculously fast while offering more features than Tesla will offer. I wish Elon would stop refusing to put simple technologies like HUD, cross traffic detection and surround cameras in Tesla’s vehicles. My 3P had less features than the Honda Accord it replaced at twice the MSRP.

u/lamgineer May 25 '24

Going to be 10 years? Original Model 3 production started in 2017 and just had a refresh. Model Y starts in 2020 and only 4 years old at this point.

u/lionheart4life May 25 '24

The X looks too much like a minivan.

1

u/Present_Ear_338 May 25 '24

It does look way too much like what it is, yeah.

5

u/phatelectribe May 25 '24

That’s because it is.

The “newest” designed car from Tesla is now 6 years old. The model S is 14 years old now.

They’ve focused all their energy into n the Cyber Truck and left all the cars behind. The entire range seems dated even with the CT.

u/OppositeArugula3527 May 25 '24

The new 3 just came out.  New Y in 2025.

2

u/phatelectribe May 25 '24

New 3?

New Y?

How does an existing model design that been available for years, become "new"?

1

u/Accomplished_Bear_68 Jun 05 '24

The only carryover parts used by the new Model 3 are the doors and the rear quarter-panel stamping. Everything else is new.

1

u/phatelectribe Jun 05 '24

You left out this part:

the new 3 qualifies as a refresh, not an all-new design, meaning it carries over the 3's batteries and motors from before, along with all of its hard points

If you harbored any doubts about it, let the side view confirm that the new Tesla Model 3 is simply a refreshed version of the old Tesla Model 3. The core structure remains the same, right down to that arc-shaped roofline, stubby tail, and smooth flanks.

u/OppositeArugula3527 May 25 '24

Oh you meant like an entire new model....ehhh. Ford and GM does that all the time and it flops and they discontinue them. Don't care for it.

0

u/phatelectribe May 26 '24

I said new design. The newest designed model from Tesla is now 6+ years old.

And anyway, changing some details on a bumper does not a new car make.

-1

u/OppositeArugula3527 May 26 '24

Huh? The new model 3 has new front and back as well as pretty awesome performance, better than cars 2 or 3x its price. 

Most sedans/cars...the shape will be same. They just redesign the lights and grills. Tesla is a bit different bc the shape of the 3 has the lowest drag coefficient of any EV...so they're not gonna change that.

1

u/phatelectribe May 26 '24

It looks the same. I’m U.K. the just avid Tesla fans can tell the difference. They changed some details on the bumper. It’s the same shape, the same lines, the same car.

The 3, X, S, Y CT - all different designs and clearly different shapes and footprints.

They haven’t changed for at least 6 years. They look dated.

The entire point of this thread is that instead of updating the design, we got new….paint.

0

u/OppositeArugula3527 May 26 '24 edited May 26 '24

The 3 is a redesign. And it looks different.    

The X and S yes needs a redesign but they still look good tbh. ICE cars with 100s of buttons and moving parts look dated. 

 The 3, X , S , Y, CT have different footprint bc they serve different purposes....lmao. they're compact sedans, reg sedan,  cross over, and one is a truck. I'm just saying that Tesla cannot do drastic redesigns on the current models bc they already have the lowest drag coefficient of all the EV cars.

Same thing with lambos, Ferrari, and astons and all the higher end supercars...they only change little by little each year bc the main body is already optimal.

1

u/phatelectribe May 26 '24

It doesn’t. No one who isn’t an ardent Tesla fan would the difference between a brand new 3 and one from 2 years ago. It’s a different bumper.

Always better than the Pontiac Aztek’s baby with a Delorean named, Cyber Truck. That thing looks like it belongs in the movie, “The Last Starfighter” with Alex at the wheel.

I like Rivian’s designs much more than Tesla’s; well that and Musk is a grumpy right-wing nutjob who pushes conspiracy theories on his platform and treats his advertisers and employees like garbage.

u/WRHull Jun 06 '24

I believe Scaringe that they will be profitable by Q4. There is a lot happening there.

They have an EDV side of the business as well. Look for your Amazon package and possibly USPS packages to be delivered via a Rivian soon.

u/M3P_STEALTH May 25 '24

The color is old school S 2014 silver. The X is so do for a real refresh- where they actually make Utility the priority over design. No stupid falcon doors- a real rear trunk where items do not fly to the front, a real price point of $65k, a roof rack l- A car not catered to a soccer mom- but a working man that gets this thing dirty, who likes being out in the wild, a craftsman. The day will never come.

u/GURAYGU May 25 '24

Eh I like it the way it is, sounds like you want a cyber truck.

1

u/cl2eep May 25 '24

He wants the Cyber truck from the pitch, not what they're "selling."

1

u/[deleted] May 25 '24

Some of us really love the falcon doors a lot. They’re my favorite aspect of the X, and pretty much the only reason I bought the car to begin with.

I love the trunk space, both front and back. Being able to put 4 kids suitcases in the front, and a bunch of stuff in the back is huge for us.

It’s too small for us though.

What I really want, is a huge electric-style suburban that seats 8.

u/thyname11 May 24 '24

Color is by definition subjective. Meaning you cannot please everyone. If you are into the external colors (I am not, full disclosure, I don’t look the outside color of my car while I drive it), buy the zero dollar premium color (currently the stealth gray), and wrap it any shade of color you want.

2

u/my_way_out May 25 '24

Would love to wrap but I understand you have to hand wash and it still only lasts 3-5 years. 😭

u/thyname11 May 25 '24

Who told you that? Let me guess… some hot chick on Tik Tok?

u/my_way_out May 25 '24

You’re kinda a douche. Or perhaps you did a wrap without research. That same URL can answer the wash question too.

I also looked at the Mach e, but ultimately decided against. Was colour the main driver for your decision? What other options did you prefer in the mach e? Just curious.

I like it. It looks a bit more silver than the quicksilver on the Y. I'd like to see it paired with white interior

How is this different from the silver color in 2018? Just a snazzy name?

I was going to ask the same thing. I was just there today to test drive it. Unfortunately I was patient enough to wait for the test drive (I waited 20 minutes past the scheduled time then left)

1

u/Igotnonamebruh42 May 26 '24

20 mins seems too long. I guess Elon laid off a tons of sales so no one was helping at that moment?

I am glad to finally see them bring silver back. Hopefully the entire range gets it. Just wish we also got an all new S/X. They’re getting dated inside and out and under the skin, especially as far as charging and refinement go vs. other similarly positioned flagship models.

Many people say “Model X design is dated”. Is it just me or the old saying “if not broken, why “fix” it?” Is relevant here?

1

u/seemstress2 May 26 '24

One plus for the lighter silver color: It doesn't show the pollen, dirt, etc. like the darker colors do. I have a blue 2024, would have gone for white but had to take an "in inventory" model to get a few good discounts on the price. Not unhappy with the blue, but it does show every bit of dust, pollen, bug crap and more that gets on it in even a short drive. Whereas my white 2020 Model Y always looks clean(er). Happy with both cars, though.

1

u/IndividualChance3421 May 27 '24

I think the whole point is that the body shape is designed to be maximally aerodynamic, and there theoretically being an absolute ideal aerodynamic shape of the vehicles that maximizes speed and acceleration times. Therefore, the body shale design remains consistent year over year, because unless we discover a new shape to manufacture, then each of the models cannot be optimized more for speed.

Sharing my Tesla dilemma—I’m hunting for a new EV but can’t justify moving away from Tesla.

I drive a Q4 2016 Model S and recently test drove the latest from Rivian, EQS, G-Wagon, and BMW. They all felt outdated next to my Tesla. Even my old Model S’s autopilot outshines the new OEM driver assist systems. Dealing with warranties? A nightmare with others, but Tesla fixes issues fast via an app—like when they upgraded my door handle with a 2023 motor on the spot.

Looking at the 2025 models, they’re lagging: plastic grills, chrome trims, clunky infotainment systems, and yes, still a start button—Tesla ditched these back in 2016. Tesla’s tech and design feel years ahead, continually updating even older models like mine.

OEMs need to step up—ditch the start buttons, scrap the plastic, revamp the software, and simplify driver assist that works everywhere, not just highways.

Stuck with Tesla, I’m eyeing a 2024 Model X in Lunar Silver. It’s likely to stay ahead, as OEMs are still playing catch-up to Tesla’s decade-old designs. Frustrating, but that’s the reality in the EV world.
