The main mistake made here is that the color is a weird sky blue. The actual shape looks great - just needs to be red.
It looks like Hundai's homage to Ferrari.
It looks like Nissan Leaf

#22What prevents car manufacturers from taking a normal-looking body style and electrifying it? Seems popular with the aftermarket mods. Every hybrid and EV I can think of looks like a suppository. Edit: I asked AI the same question and it reminded me that BMW’s i4, Camry Hybrid, Porsche Taycan, Ferrari 296 GTB (hybrid), Corvette E-Ray, F150 Lightning, and Genesis Electrified G80 all look fairly similar to standard ICE…

Nah, the main mistake is Jony Ive. one hit wonder.

#24Holy shit is that thing ugly, both inside and outside. Hiring Jony Ive was a huge mistake.
Thank God only a few will be produced and those will be squirreled away by a handful of oligarchs and will never see the light of day.

#26I’m not really sure why someone would hire Ive to design a car. I don’t know much about him, but to me he’s mostly known for designing Apple products, not luxury vehicles. Hiring someone because of their name recognition in a role they aren’t suited for would of course backfire. (Again, maybe he does have some prior work that means he’s suited for the job and I’m just unaware)
imo the exterior looks like a cartoon BYD and should be killed with fire.
however while folks are negative on Ive for the car shape, he only designed the interiors not the car body, and the interiors are kinda lovely car interior design:
-no touchscreen (dangerous while driving) -clicky, intuitive tactile switches and buttons -thoughtful use of color (display base color changes based on driving mode)
I mean even just looking at those air conditioning vents (rotate vent to open/close) is classive Ive: intuitive but sophisticated.
I hope more manufacturers copy these new/old patterns on the interiors.

Audi and BMW have been doing this for years at this point.
BMW i4 is a 4 series grand coupe (i.e., hatchback sedan in this case).
Audi ev suvs are super close to the gas versions. Both are shifting overlapped designs around though, perhaps specializing.

#30Without the badging I wouldn't have guessed Ferrari.
