> Tesla's model lineup is now showing its age.

What do you mean by that? Model 3 and Model Y were updated this year.

The Models 3/X/Y/S are all basically minor variations of the Model S that's been around for twelve years. This year's 3 and Y updates aren't new generations, they're superficial cosmetic changes.

By that metric iPhone 15 is a minor variation of iPhone 4. That doesn't seem to have hurt Apple.

Arguably the new S and X are built on the new 3 architecture from 2018 not the other way around.

Surprised nobody brings up the numerous recalls of Tesla, especially the recent seatbelt one. All this rightfully knocks confidence in the brand—like Lancia having to pull out of the UK after their rust issue ruined their rep.
