My problem is the exact opposite - they don't really explore the possibilites of a fully free form design, and the weirdness is always on the surface level.
For example, I'd love to get a car which doubles as a mobile work pod, where I could drive to a foresty car park, set up a hotspot, run the A/C, plug in my computer and do my days work from there.
But despite all the bells and whistles, interior layout is still very conservative.

- torginus 2y agoWhile the idea is good, I do have to call out the Buzz as a herald of a worrying trend in van design (that's not exclusive to EVs) - building vans on top of standard road car platforms instead. This results in longer vehicles, with lesser proportion of useful space, the packaging being worse than some ICE vans (and much worse than the original VW Bus). This is to save engineering and manufacturing costs, which is kinda a bad thing to do when your vehicle retails for this much.
