Why all electric cars look the same

Not quite all. Some take aerodynamic efficiency so seriously as to reject the skateboard platform:

This piece is really about the skateboard concept and predicted/fantasized implementation convergence. In practice that is more the legacy automaker approach but they have yet to roll them out enmasse, let alone sufficient to genericize. To be frank it looks more like them using the same plagerized essay after slacking off and then trying to justify it just as lazily. That sort of framework idea is also contrary to how industrial scales tend to work in general. Even considering the reduced service needs of electric cars compared to the complex hundreds of moving mechanical parts in the engines and transmissions of before.

All cars tend to look alike because of aerodynamic convergence however, regardless of what cosmetic "features" or stylings they try to impose on them in a futile quest for a distinctive appearance.

We may end up with one 'roller skate' and 4-5 drop on bodies. Sports car, convertible, SUV, Van, front end loader?

Lucid air, Polestar and obviously the Rivian look amazing.

Mercedes EQS did what they could with the standard shape optimizing for CX

Tesla is honestly embarassing as far as aesthetics . Both interior and esterior look so empty . They lack lines and surfaces in and out of the car...then they tried to recoup all the lack of lines and surfaces with the CypherTruck which looks like 2 or 3 boxy Volvo saloons from the 90s stacked on top of each other.
