Polestar is making some of the most handsome EVs on the market. Holy cow. This reminds me of a Lamborghini Urus that actually looks good.

I honestly hate the design language of EVs. Like, I know it's the result of focus groups and whatnot, but ffs I just want it to look normal and feel sporty, and not be an SUV. I don't mind the whole electric drivetrain thing (though a manual would be a cool option and I know that's never gonna happen), but I feel like all of them look the same. Like, I actually want to like electrification, I like stuff that helps fix aspects of our environment that make it a better place to live. I just want it to look neat too, and not this current geometric/ a e s t h e t i c business. Also I think EV wheels look like trash.

Tneh need to stop trying to make them look like EVs, and just make them look like cars...

Aren’t they designed to be efficient? So they are all gonna kinda lean the same way as far as design.

We finally got there with hybrids, your '16 didn't look like a hybrid buuuut 😁 really though, newer Corolla hybrids just look like regular Corollas, I thought about them as an option for a daily/mundane car. Hopefully we see a change in the EV space as well.

They won’t look like a Flex or xB.

Yes, which to a degree I understand, but that doesn't mean the design language has to be identical for all of them. The aerodynamic shape I understand, but I don't think it needs to look like some kind of future feverdream.

The GTE is a great example of what an EV should be in my opinion -- we take an existing design that looks good, close up some of the air intake areas, give it an electric driveline, and it blends right in with other stuff on the road and looks understated/classic. I'm also not a fan of the newer Hyundai designs though, which I feel look very EV-esque in their nature despite being regular ICE cars.
 

vu.

20 years from now we all will be in an EV either from Tesla, NIO, Lucid or some GTI EV that will be out.

@riceburner will be on his 167th car he has owned for a few weeks and sell it for whatever reason.

I’ll never own a Tesla, unless there is a coup and someone in a c-suite pops Elon a new asshole right in the forehead.
