Am I the only one that finds these circus act light shows totally unnecessary?

i assume there's a limit to the colors they can produce at least initially plus their market research indicates the other colors will sell better.

about the car's looks, now i'm seeing more pics, i think the front is a home run, but the rear is ehhh but to me depends on the car color and whether the light bar is on.













the gray back lower lower trim looks ok on gray/black painted cars... red/white, not so much.

Keep in mind these cars are detailed to a high shine, off the line versions won't look as nice.

Quicksilver is my favorite current Tesla color. I don’t like the rear without the light on. Gives me current gen Prius vibes

I was disappointed with quicksilver on the new 3. Way too grey. Almost looked like it had some tan undertones too. Like the lunar silver on the S/X better.

I downloaded the Imperial March from Empire Strikes Back lightshow. It's pretty cool, but the software for lightshow is a little buggy. Doesn't always show the custom lightshows in the list. Have to remove the usb and plug it back in again for them to be recognized. Also have Sandstorm, Knight Rider, and a few others. Interesting to see where Elon spends and cuts development money sometimes.

You’ll have to ask the lighting designer:

‘The exterior looks fantastic, far better looking than the outgoing Tesla Y. Dare I say it looks more like a conventional gas hybrid now. The lower grille is interesting… The front lights and light bar look like they blend in with what Lincoln and Ford are doing. I really like it.

Fake ruggedness. The gray is the trend now

When we get the non launch editions we'll be able to properly compare to the previous Y.
Interestingly, if you take the current Y and load it up with FSD, optional paint, interior, wheels, etc, it costs about $2K more than the new Launch. The Launch has no option upcharge.

To tell the truth, if I didn't have too many cars now, I might be a customer.
