- throwawayboise 5y agoHe was wrong IMO. Teslas are just meh in styling. They look OK, certainly better than the clown-car EVs that preceeded them (and are still produced by some manufacturers), but they don't stand out compared to the styling and interior quality of Mercedes, BMW, to say nothing of exotics like Lotus.
- maximus-decimus 5y agoI doubt he said it was a stupid idea due to the look. It probably has more to do you have to design the car from the ground up to be electric and Lotus won't have the expertise for doing that. Also Tesla, just likes vertical integration in general. I believe they control their whole battery manufacturing pipeline.
