Huh. I actually saw one for the first time in person yesterday too. On the way back from a camping trip, in a little village surrounded by corn fields.
It really i the ugliest car I’ve ever seen. Including the car Homer designed in the Simpsons.
Couple of weeks ago I saw several, all parked next to each other, in a parking lot. Assumed it was some car club, or people going to some car event. Anyway, seeing them all lined-up like that, made me realize just how out of place they looked. They looked fake, like mock-ups, or something. It was weird. I have seen a lot of very highly stylized cars, lots of specialty vehicles designed for industrial, and military, use and never have I gotten that vibe. The only other time I got the same feeling was when one of the Nolan batman movies was being filmed near where I worked, and they had the “bat” vehicles parked in a private lot I passed, on my way to work. Getting to see them up close, and in person, really made it clear that they were fake vehicles, that required distance, and editing/cgi, to look real.
I don’t know how to explain it, but it absolutely is. I saw my first a week or two ago, and was taken aback by how off-putting it is visually. I thought maybe it’d have an awkward charm, but no, it’s just physically uncomfortable to look at.
What struck me was how ungodly huge it is, for basically no reason. There was one outside of Costco with people trying to get some huge thing to fit in the bed. It didn’t go well. They already had it loaded by the time I walked into the store and they were still there putting ratchet straps on it when I left 30 minutes later.
I saw one in person the other day and physically uncomfortable is a good description. I was trying to describe it to my friends who have only seen pictures and I couldn’t stop laughing because it’s so much dumber looking in real life. Really just horrible.
I’ve only seen one or two a month so far on days when I’m out, in an area where I see multiple Teslas a day when I’m out. It does seem like the number is increasing, but slowly.
Just saw one on the highway less than 30min ago. Idk if it’s just the East Bay, but hardly a day goes by without seeing at least one. It’s weird how popular they are here.
Saw it for the first time in person yesterday and I can confidently say….
It’s even uglier in person!

Homer’s car was pretty cool…
I agree on all points but the shag carpet.
It’s never a good idea, or cool, unless it’s The Mystery Van.
I will respect your choice to put it places, though.
Like, zoinks! That’s just, like, your take on it, man!
You do bring up a valid point.
Shag carpets are acceptable as long as they really tie the room together.

It’s like looking at a texture that hasn’t fully rendered or something, just visual blur despite the sharp edges

It’s aggressively ugly

Interesting to know it’s just my area (which does make sense, it’s SF Bay Area), but I see them all the time, multiple a day sometimes.

Yes
