I'm not a hater but I think it will bomb in most markets. IRL pics circulating, if real, don't look as sexy as the prototypes. And it's too radical in look. My two cents.

Pics I've seen actually had duct tape. Not surprised considering it is consistent with prior reports on Tesla quality.

This is an old myth by now

Just to check who is right, I did a simple search and found this:

Looks like tape to me. How is it a myth?

To be fair, that image appears to be vehicles being transported after some sort of test.

Notice how dirty they all are, and how scuffed up some panels are. The tape appears to be in the exact same places for all of them, which might indicate some sort of video test (slow motion or similar).

I highly doubt real vehicles will be shipped to customers with tape on the exterior...
