Aww I think it looks cool. I get that people don’t like change; but it’s not like they’ve stopped making the other ones. Feel bad for them; I don’t think its the best use of collective action to punish new ideas that are way down the totem pole of evil in this world.

    Ferraris have soul, they're exciting, they look fast standing still. This thing looks fine as a standard passenger EV but it is no Ferrari. People are telling them exactly that, collectively.

    I don't think people would have minded very much if they had taken one of their existing chassis and swapped it for an electric drivetrain, but kept the design mostly the same.

    I'd honestly disagree there. It looks like someone wearing oversized clothes, which isn't helped by its colour scheme.

    It stands out in a bad way, compared to a modern passenger EV, which arguably looks nicer because it's less awkward.
