i don’t think hydrogen powered cars are the future but the next mirai looks much better than the current one https://www.motor1.com/news/375766/2021-toyota-mirai-fuel-ce...

This does look a lot better.

I often wonder if carmakers purposefully make non-IC cars ugly so too many people don't order them. And if that's true, it's probably main thing that Tesla changed: make those cars look awesome.

I still like my Model S quite a bit, but Tesla cars have always looked a little dorky to me, models S, 3, or X (I'm not sure how I feel about the Cybertruck just yet). I certainly didn't get mine for the look. They sure look much better than the i3 or Mirai though.

I always assumed they made their experimental cars ugly so people would notice them and talk about them.
