I find the design language of the whole Tesla lineup to be boring and look outdated as of now. The exterior design hasn't truly been updated since the Model 3 launched 5 years ago.

The interior of their cars are boring and frankly very cheap feeling. I just rode in a brand new Model 3 and was astonished by the plasticky feeling interior.

I currently drive a Kia Stinger GT2 which I think will be my last ICE car. I am hoping more and more EVs launch and look more and more like ICE cars. I generally don't like the design and exterior body lines of Teslas, the Kia EV6, and say the Nissan Leaf.

When Hyundai or Kia puts out an EV version of their existing sedans with a sporty option (N-Line or GT) I'll probably upgrade out of my Stinger and into an EV.

Just my opinion of course, but I find all of the Tesla models except the model s just outright ugly vehicles.

Also I agree that the design of most of the EVs out there just seem “meh”. I do like the look of the new Lexus RZ that is coming’s though. And would consider that one if I ever decided to get an EV, but we would keep an ICE car for the occasional longer road trips we take. I don’t find EVs practical for longer trips.

Just wondering, do you feel the design of the Aptera to be 'meh'?

[kcplate]

Had to look it up… no, that’s not “meh”, but honestly that is a damn ugly vehicle.

Expect to see more cars like it for the low drag. The Aptera gets 10 miles per kWh.

Not in my garage, but to each their own.

I'd like to add lack of tactile physical controls to the list.

I've had three bad experiences in safety situations that would have been avoided with tactile physical controls.

And since then, my opinion has changed to that of certain controls that are required during operation of the vehicle should remain tactile.

Yeah, I am not a fan of the all touchscreen interfaces either. I am extremely glad that Hyundai/Kia hasn't fully gone that route in their ICE cars yet. My partner's 2022 Ram TRX has a giant touchscreen but still has a lot of physical knobs and buttons for control too.

I drove a Ford Mach-E over this past summer, and was disappointed that Ford went all touchscreen in that EV.

I really want to see an all-electric Miata. The one thing with the miata was its lack of power (leading some people to add a turbo!). A miata with all electric would be a demon.

what do you think of the ionique 6? - https://www.hyundaiusa.com/us/en/vehicles/ioniq-6

The Ioniq 6 definitely has my attention, especially the N-line variant they were showing to the press a few months back. This is the kind of thing that will pull me away from sporty ICE cars for sure.
