    Is it possible to make an EV that doesn’t look like a dorks version of a futuristic car? Just make it look normal and people will buy it.

      You mean like regular EV’s? Because there is a whole bunch of them that look perfectly normal.

      As for sports EV’s: I am quite liking the Audi GT.

            That and this isn’t a practical car. I mean 99% of people who even buy this aren’t buying it as a DD. Something like a Porsche Cayenne would be more something that’s more reasonable if you want peoole to buy it and DD.

      Ferrari execs, probably: “No, we have to make clear that we’re modern™ and there’s more to our cars than toxic masculinity!!!”

      … which might even be a good selling point for a lot of people, except for the kind of people who buy a Ferrari.

      Yeah. Tesla looks pretty decent… Except its designed to trap you inside, and prevent outside help as you burn alive.

            The big fat ass elevate screen in the middle of the dashboard looks like cheap shit.

            The outside looks like a late 1990s European high end car.

            It’s high tech made to look cheap using plastic and putting what’s basically a computer monitor as centerpiece rather smoothly intergrating it with the rest, all wrapped in a frame which is an outdated idea of a luxury car.

            (IMHO, or course)

              I meant outside. Inside 90s style knobs and buttons always ruled and noone is ever going to make me think otherwise

              The outside looks like a late 1990s European high end car.

              I like European high end cars

                Even the door handles in the Tesla are a 1990s idea of what high tech looks like.

                It’s like those cars were designed by an aged geek with no sophistication in taste rather than by a designer.

                (And I am myself an aged geek, but, shit, I like to think I actually got a little bit more subtle and demanding with age in my appreciation of the beauty in things).

                  Even the door handles in the Tesla are a 1990s idea of what high tech looks like.

                  In the 90s it was perfectly possible to build these handles but noone was dumb enough to actually implement it outside of concept cars.

                  It’s like those cars were designed by an aged geek with no sophistication in taste rather than by a designer.

                  Actually most tesla models were designed by an actual designer named Franz von Holzhausen. Musk didn’t sit at the drawing board with a pancil.

                  My best guess would be that Musk demanded all the stupid concept car shit from the team resulting in stupid LCD screen and those cursed door handles.
