It’s ugly
Is there some rule that EV’s have to be butt ugly?
It’s a law....................
The space hub is the 5,964th iteration of the “vehicle as a box with wheels” concept.

I’ve seen much worse!.................
EVs will be on the way out before this makes the showroom floor.
Anyone looking at buying owes it to themselves to look at the Hyundai SUV line. Only the engine is built in Korea. The rest is all USA labor. The Sorento x-line is awesome. Even better is the Telluride.
Who cares?!
When you're sitting inside, you can't see how "ugly" it might be.
Then park it, and go away.
All I want to do is get from Point A to Point B as efficiently, comfortably, and affordably as possible. The possibility that onlookers might find my conveyance unattractive simply doesn't factor into my decision.

Nice. Push the envelope. But we won’t be able to own those cars in the future, yet we still have to share the country with 40 million turd worlders/hominids/mongrels with 78 IQ.
Huh? Star Wars vehicles always looked somewhat clunky, bolted-together and non-streamlined to me. This looks more like something from Tron.
Wonder if the auto industry will develop an EV version of the Pinto? It could catch on fire even if not rear-ended!
Since they refuse to construct more generation of electricity, it reinforces their ultimate goal of control. Controlling travel will be easy when you can’t charge a ‘mandatory’ EV.
Their scam of solar and wind power is failing. Several wind companies have declined to make offshore wind farms, off the shores of New York and New Jersey. One of these companies was promised billions in taxpayer dollars. They still stated it would not be economically viable.
We have only drilled a few miles into the Earth. We have thousands of years of hydrocarbons under our feet. Inexpensive and abundant energy equals more freedom, and democRATS hate free people making free choices.
I agree large scale wind and solar projects are failing due to corruption and a forcing of outcomes that our level of knowledge in those fields is not mature enough to support. We might get there in time but pie in the sky enviro weenies
insisting that we meet very unrealistic performance deadlines for pollution and “carbon control” ect, risk strangling promising new tech in its crib!
Smaller scale wind and solar works well, expecially for standalone stations and off grid living surprisingly well as long as certain expectations are managed. Froget about dishwashers and washing machines...but one might utilize smaller refrigeration boxes for small amounts of periishables and medicines. Solar and reasonable sized battery banks might handle the lighting in many houses given the enormouse efficiencies of led lighting. Charging of phones and other hand held devices could be charged by solar. Small shoe boxed sized wind turbines could be used in automotive uses in hybrids cars to augnebt power for the batteries and they are already used in off grid applications where breezes abound. Batteries and Storage are the big chokepoint where the science isn’t totally there yet. If the politicians keep pushing...it will never get there!
Sorento and Telluride are Kia, not Hyundai. Dizygotic twins. And I just bought a Kia Sorento, non-X-line, pretty maxed out on options, except no HUD. Final assembly, West Point GA.
And to clarify, Kia and Hyundai are the dizygotic twins. To get into details, Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade are twins at the top of the model lineup. Too big for me, I didn’t need something quite that big. Kia Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe are twins one down, size wise. That’s what worked for me.
It’s not the dishwasher and fridge that are the weak points. The 3 main improvements I had to make to the house are: AC/heat (now have a variable speed heat pump), water heater (now have a hybrid water heater with custom duct work to optimize the air going to and from the water heater), and how we charge the EV (charge it to 80% if we have free solar power, 60% will do if power has to be pulled from grid). Those are the three main energy hog battles in the home I have to win to achieve almost energy self-reliance to insulate my retirement finances from the Dims’ stupid warmageddon energy policies.
What is it that you use for energy storage?
