I actually really like the look of my Renault Megane E-Tech
Battery could be better, but else I'm really happy with it - and the look of it

Also completely subjective..

The Ferrari Ev looks sick as do Hyundai's offerings and hell even the new Prius is pretty cool. (I know it's a hybrid)

Maybe you just have a really narrow scope of appreciation lol.

So people won't buy them. O&G companies still own the auto industry.

There's two big reasons.

No front grill

So much of a brand's identity can be carried by the grill and headlights. And on an EV, there's no need for a grill. But just a slab of flat metal looks weird, so they add stuff to break it up.

Drag

The range of an EV is a lot more sensitive to drag than an ICE car.

So in order to reduce the drag, shapes are smoothed out.

Aero efficiency becomes a much bigger priority than looks.

Audi has the best looking cars to my eyye, of all the standard person cars. Their EVs are asstastic looking.

The secretly don’t want to manufacture them so they make them look like shit?

Obviously they can be made to look normal, the Ford Lightning & Mach E, Lucid, Polestar, and even a Tesla all look pretty normal and arguably some look really nice. But ask a mainstream manufacturer to make an EV car and they look stupid half the time. The Prius finally doesn’t look like it’s trying to virtue signal with its ugliness, so designs can be improved too.

People who drive gas cars personally, make ugly EVs. They don't build cars for themselves, they build cars for what their prejudiced minds think EV drivers want. The problem here is probably that none of the Ferrari leadership drives an EV.

they’re trying to compete with Renault’s handsome EV designs

I imagine that's the issue, that it does in fact not look like a Ferrari, when it is supposed to be a Ferrari.

I saw an image edit with a Toyota Prius badge and I legit liked it

Its growing on me. And the rims as an old GenX'er didn't Vector have a set like that w/ the Bi-Turbo/Twin Turbo? I like the "Jet Turbine" look of them.

.

But I can see why an EV Ferrari would get backlash from the purists. Its not a traditional ICE race car. That said I see racing going to EV as the torque is insane on electric. We are already seeing it in drag bikes

.

Another prediction on EVs, their charging bottle neck will be filled by standardized batteries that can be removed by a robot.

.

Like a car wash you pull up, a clanker comes up from the floor and removes your batteries. They go into inventory to charge and can be cell by cell inspected and charged batteries are installed. 10 minutes TOPS.

.

This fixes recycling and repair. I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this, but its going to happen.

.

Oh and your correct this looks NOTHING like a Ferrari, I mean not even "Ferrari Red®"???

We need better formatting of text on here asap,

I thought he just designed the interior?

Johnny I’ve would drive around in. Sinclair C5 and it shows

I mean, I feel nuts because I've complained about so many EVS that look terrible and not like a normal ice car.

They bypassed a large chunk of the Ferrari design and engineering and marketing team, who hate it with fierce Italian passion. They think management have betrayed their history
