I still don't get the 'look good' part, why do non-ICE cars always need to have a different look that what is already popular/proven in the market. The traditional automakers are still doing this today with their first big pushes in EV. If they don't sell they'll blame 'the market' for not wanting EV, but in reality it could be folks just aren't interested in the design / don't what to make the fashion statement.
- 8ytecoder 4y agoAlmost as if ICE car companies don’t want electric to sell. BMW was the worst of the lot. They’re doing better now.
- FireBeyond 4y agoI don't think that makes them conspiring or evil. Just pragmatic. "We have tens of billions and tens of decades invested in 'perfecting' ICE. This is a huge upheaval" is an attitude I'd expect any of them to take (while still recognizing they need to see where the market is heading and planning for that).
