The ONE real problem I have with the Tesla Model S

Could they have used a cheesier font? It looks like someone just pulled a random, stock serif font out of Word and said, "Here you go. Done." And I'm sorry, but it looks like "MODELS" and not Model S. Doing something to the typeface to distinguish the S component as being the identifier would have helped.

But really. That's my only gripe.

(finally got to ride in one this morning and oh my, I was not expecting what I experienced)

Could be worse.

Could be Comic Sans.

It does have a certain old-world feel. My first reaction was one of those Wild West novelty fonts, even though it doesn't actually bear much resemblance.

I dont know why I kinda like it. i guess because its such a modern design with modern tech to use a san serif font would be super cliche.

Confession: I liked Comic Sans. A lot. I used it before it mattered!

SOLD EM?

Personally, I'd just de-badge it. Asides from the badge, one of the absolute best looking cars on the road.
