Almost every single model out there right now outside of a couple of Tesla cars looks like a complete joke. It’s as if they were trying to make them ugly. Is there some kind of requirement to make theses vehicles hard on the eyes?

I might consider buying an EV one day but not if they don’t stop looking like a nerdy homeschool girl designed them.

Agree... But it's not great looking either.

It is very appliance-like.

They look like some appliance or furniture you get from IKEA

Like it was designed to go in a cartoon show

The cyber truck looks like it was designed on an Atari in the 1980s for a low budget trashy sci-fi film

It's supposed to be ironic right. Like they're making a joke of the futuristic look by making it look as dumb-futuristic as possible. That's why people like it right. It's like the fake faded bowling shirt at Urban Outfitters right. Idk

You ever noticed how lackluster the buildings the commies built in Russia? There you go.

Modern humans have incredibly tacky taste in every regard.

I think most of them look cool.

The motors are fairly compact so the designers can give the cars the right proportions. There is more freedom to design whatever they want since they don’t need to stick with a large front overhang to accommodate a big transverse mounted engine.

Sorry, not a single one of those cars touches this:

I think it’s the lack of a real grill. Kinda makes it look like a person without a nose.

They aren't terrible, but looks aren't its strong suit.

Some of the Lucids look OK and the Polestars, with the Volvo influence, really looked good


Taycan looked the best, IMO.

99 percent of all cars now are mundane and boring

Some are ugly but appearance is a minor thing compared to the other drawbacks. The upfront costs are high with high insurance premiums. The neighborhood mechanic might not be able to fix it if a problem developed which would necessitate a trip to the dealership. Range is limited, even more so in extreme temperatures and you are screwed if there is no electricity due to a storm or other problem with the electrical grid.

Looks like a Hyundai, honestly. If it were an ICE vehicle, you wouldn’t hold it up as some standard of anything.
