Skoda Slams Tesla Vehicle Designs

Finally, Skoda’s head of product management, Guido Haak has said what we’ve all been thinking: the Tesla Model 3 looks “vanilla.” Considering the price of the car, and what you get, the guy has a point. And then there’s how it looks.

Let’s face it: Teslas are kind of ugly. Yeah, the Tesla fanboys will get mad and tell you they’re beautiful machines, but they’re not. For example, the Model X looks like the jelly bean my kid dropped in the car on a hot summer’s afternoon.

Tesla fans are frothing at the mouth at what Haak said. After all, where’s Skoda’s affordable EV? Where are any electric models from Skoda? What is Skoda? They have a lot of questions.

In the way of answers, Skoda is going to back up its talk in 2020 when it launches an all-electric model. You can bet it will share a platform and tech with the upcoming Volkswagen EV based on the ID concept. In 2025 Skoda will have five EVs, if everything goes as planned. By then, Tesla will have taken over the entire automotive industry, which is why everyone should just stop trying to compete with it.

I’m kidding, of course. One interesting thing Haak said in his interview with Autocar is that the new Skoda EV would undercut Tesla on pricing. It could be more of a Nissan Leaf competitor. We’ll see a preview with the Skoda Vision E Concept.
