As an aside since we're apparently bringing out the woodworks here, why is it that nearly all electric vehicles look like crap?
Seriously, their designs are nearly all terrible compared to gas/diesel cars.

The Prius looks dull because it's tuned for ultimate efficiency while also paying a small roofline/footprint penalty for its battery in aesthetics. It would be interesting to see what a max efficiency ICE Prius would be like. I bet it could do high 30's mpg, maybe even 40, would look better, and be substantially cheaper.
But Teslas look like cars to me, so I think the era of “it’s electric so it has to look weird” is at its end.
