Speak for yourself. I think it looks gorgeous!
Besides, it's nothing a little marketing (and cultural drift) can't fix. The Model X looked weird to people at first without a 'fake' grill, but now the opposite is true.
Mostly "I know what I like when I see it" just translates to "I like what I've seen many times before."

Speaking of "commercial realities," that's not an issue for the vast majority of vehicles.
> need to fit people in it
Amusing, but obviously exaggerated.
People still fit in small cars. It's obvious that all people don't fit in all cars (even this one).

So apparently, what you really meant to say is "what you can achieve if I assume future battery technology."
This is quite the about-face from your earlier position.
- clouddrover 4y agoWhat are you even trying to argue? "The vast majority of vehicles" won't achieve these levels of efficiency because they won't have active aero, glass fibre reinforced plastic springs in the suspension for weight reduction, or solar panels on the roof. Even the Lightyear 0 is less efficient. Here's your homework: show me the four door, four seater econobox that achieves the same levels of efficiency and range as the EQXX. Mercedes has thought this through more clearly than you have.
