    why no one is making EVs that look like most vehicles

    VW, PSA/Fiat/Dodge/Opel/Vauxhall (half of stellantis basically), Audi, BMW, Kia/Hyundai, Renault (for the most part), Nissan, Mitsubishi, Honda (their small SUVs), Acura, Mazda, Mini (though their recent redesigns are ugly as fuck), Volvo, hell even new Smart models are like a scaled down FX.

    There’s a good amount of normal, the problem is trying to design outlandish stuff just for the sake of it. Look at Lancia’s PuRa concept car, then their new Ypsilon, that’s what happens when you do it for the love of the game. And they’re not doing a flagship yet which is imo the best iteration of that design.
    But instead of consistency and pleasing basic shapes Ferrari made a cross between a Watch Dogs car and a cheap gaming mouse.
