It's not a requirement that they look hideous, but for mass production hybrid / all-electric cars, it's kind of a requirement that they look DIFFERENT.
Why? Because people who are choosing to buy a hybrid or electric usually want EVERYONE ELSE to know they got one. That's one reason the Prius has no "regular" version - if you see a Prius, and its distinctive shape, you immediately know the person bought a hybrid. With other cars, (including the Tesla) you have to see the badges on the back to know. So part of the "moral reward" for buying hybrid, paying more and sacrificing some performance is lost.
