I always thought "Model Y" was a bad name for a car. Its like calling it the "Model Why would you fucking buy this"? There are a lot of great examples of car model names a while back being called something stupid then shipped over seas to be sold only to have the local language translation be something like "no-go". Yeah, they didn't sell well.

>There are plenty of reasons to refuse to buy a Tesla that have nothing to do with its cars, especially in Germany, but there are also plenty of car-related reasons to avoid Teslas, too. For example, our friends at MotorTrend lived with a Tesla Model Y for two years and hated every minute of it. And that's coming from an outlet that basically had nothing but positive things to say about the Model 3 when it first came out. Now, a new report from Germany has labeled the Model Y the most defect-ridden new car you can buy. Yikes. The report comes from TÜV SÜD, a German auditing, inspection, and certification firm, and is based on data collected from about 9.5 million vehicle inspections over the past year. Overall, TÜV found that the rate of significant faults found in the millions of inspected cars rose 0.9% year-over-year, rising to 21.5%, and while the number of cars with low significant fault rates improved by 0.8 percentage points, the number of cars without any faults dropped by 1.8 percentage points. Still, it found 66.1% of cars had no faults, and only 0.5% were deemed "not roadworthy," so things aren't as bad as they could be.
