Is this the ugliest high end vehicle on the market? I thought they looked great in photos before release, but I've seen two on the highway this past week and can't get over the odd proportions of the rear end. I can't quite pinpoint what the rear ended resembles, but I keep circling back to a derpy turtle.







I also haven't been able to find a photo online that truly details just how terrible it looks in person from behind, but the above is close.

Obviously there are some models that come to mind in this category(BMX X6, Bentley Bentayga, etc), but is there a model aimed at the high end buyer that is uglier to you than this vehicle?

I think they look pretty badass especially when they come up from behind you. Their front end, headlights, and the Tesla emblem looks sharp in the rearview mirror.

I've heard they are quite popular with the urban youth.

I think the front looks great, it's the back that I can't get over. It has the height of an SUV, ground clearance of a Fiat and shape of a hatchback. Terrible combinations to have.

To be fair, the backside looks like that because it does this:

Your description sounds a lot like the Pontiac Aztek, yet it looks nothing like that monstrosity.

Exact opposite for me. I don't think it looks terrible in photos as you don't get an idea of tall the roofline truly is.

I saw one the other day and completely agree with you. It isn't the ugliest thing on the road, but it didn't look nearly as good as the photos. I thought it was some modified version of the normal sedan at first.

if the back were another 3 or 4 inches taller, it would resemble a Prius.

I don't like the front end on any Tesla. The lack of grill makes it looks odd to me.
