Not sure why they'd name a car after a bird that shits everywhere. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't most birds do this? Couldn't you make this comment about any bird?

I live at the beach, seagulls are a special breed. It is thought that they aim for humans too.

My comment still stands.

Soviet luxury cars for big bosses were called that also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAZ_Chaika

I guess when you don't live near the coast, seagulls have this romantic, sea faring, travel vibe.

I live at the coast too.

I think they're remarkable. I think it's pretty cool how they pick up mollusks and clams and such, drop them from high on the rocks and sidewall to break them open to eat. Clever.

First thing I though when I saw this brand. 'Seal', 'Dolphin', 'Seagull'. They should have perhaps asked a agency to brand these cars a little better.

Looks like electric car manufacturers have poor taste… (BTW, 'Seal', 'Dolphin', 'Seagull' is still much butter than Elon's teenager leet speak joke…)
