    Just make a regular looking car that happens to be EV. I don’t know why manufacturers have to make the dumbest looking vehicles for their EV cars.

      Styles are changing, I guess they’re focus grouping it and people want cars from blade runner. No longer requiring a radiator or exhaust has actually produced some interesting designs.

        I would rather just have more storage. I think lucid did it right for EV design, same with Rivian. Seems like the legacy car manufacturers always make a goofy design. The lucid air for example is a foot shorter than the S class but has more space.

          Practical EVs exist too. It’s an open market so there will be something for everyone I’m sure. If you really hate EV design you can buy the conversion kits for a classic.

      Lots of visibility with such a small front end, but it’ll make head-on collisions scarier, also, imo. Looks aerodynamic, too. I’d have no issue rocking this for my daily.

          Depending on your commute, a used Nissan Leaf will get you back and forth for 5k to 10k. If you have a long commute, used Model S can be had as low as 20k, but it comes with some negative connotations.

          If you don’t necessarily want to plug in and efficiency is good enough, old reliable Priuses are getting pretty cheap.

      I wouldn’t worry about it too much, the concept cars always look sleek and then the manufacturers poop out something that looks way more standard. See: the Chevy Volt.

      I’m with you on this. I feel like manufacturers still feel like people are wanting to make a statement by making EVs look like their suited for spaceflight. I’d rather have near similar looking models to what we’ve already got with the combustion engine, with aerodynamic considerations for efficiency baked in.
