Idk why this is a thing. The only EVs that look good to me are the Model S, Model Y, and the Ioniq 5.

The Lucid reminds me of a toenail. The Model 3 looks like a stubby, bloated frog. The EQS is abominably ugly even though MB makes a greater proportion of good looking cars than BMW or Audi these days. Similar situation with the Polestar - not as ugly as the EQS but a bit like you took one of the current, pretty Volvos and whacked it in the face with a shovel. The Mach-E couldn't be more of a boring NPC car while somehow also being ugly at the same time.

The Lightning and Rivian are, like, fine, but they don't stand out.

Boy you got some weird opinions. Or maybe you need new glasses?

The Model S looks like all other current "executive sedans," boring as hell, indistinguishable from a bland jaguar or whatever

The Model 3 is the least bad looking Tesla after the og roadster but it's still bland and boring and it has no face

The X and Y are hunchbacked abominations that look like someone just took the S and 3 and stretched them 35% in the Z axis

The Lucid is a big blob but at least it's making a statement. So wide

The mach E is another generic hunchbacked compact SUV, who cares

The polestar 2 is one of the better looking options but it's too chunky and they should have just made a full EV polestar 1

The lightning is just a truck

The ioniq 5 looks great

The rivians look great

All other EVs* are forgettable and boring compact SUVs or generic blobular executive cars

*In the USA, there are some pretty cool looking ones in other countries but rip

I like the Volvo EX90 looks but they really missed out making it more like the concept versions which were a lot more swoopy and daring. As it is it looks just like an XC90 without a grille.

Best looking EV in my opinion is the Audi etron GT or the taycan. Model 3 still looks sharp but every other new EV to me just looks like draft 3d models from cyberpunk 2077. Looking at you ioniq 5.

Used the TeslaTap mini I got almost a year ago for the first time today and it worked great. Very tight fit on the Tesla end of things, but once it was on it did the trick.

I had a little luck dripping some 3-in-1 oil into the Tesla end, but I think what it really needs is a hole to let air out. This would probably mess up how water-resistant it is, though. So we just deal with it, and it's okay.

I seriously think this is going to work out. I mean, not whatever the gently caress this is, but Acura clearly needed a major luxury reboot, Honda knows how to make cars, Sony is rightfully maligned for missteps but clearly knows how to make weird new product categories, particularly luxury ones, that their buyers are more than willing to pay very premium prices for.

Calling it, Acura is now Afeela with a "Technology by Sony" sub-brand and they are discontinuing all of the ICE cars, which they clearly haven't given a poo poo about for years. I don't think they are going to do worse than Acura, likely much better.

I still don't understand why the Nissan ARIYA wasn't introduced in the US as a slightly more premium Infiniti, I guess they have just completely given up on that brand and maybe the category completely.

Acura has an EV coming in 2024 using GM ultium batteries. They also just released the new Integra as of like a month ago. They aren’t turning Acura into whatever this weird collaboration is.
