I swear every electric car made by anyone looks horrible....just a really boring design on the exterior. Porsche, BMW, yuck.....
The Model S looks decent but that's literally the only car. Even the Taycan is disappointing...

Well design is subjective but the model S is a snore fest at best it's been the same thing forever!
Not sure about you but have you seen an Etron GT!
Those hips! Mmmmmm so tasty !
I'd have a Etron GT over a model S any day !
Unfortunately Tesla's have had enough time in the sandbox and now has to play with others, they had their time and now us as consumers will have more to play with.
I'm sure the iX will eventually find its swing. They will eventually tune the design and it will get better.
But as I always say sometimes you need to scare people to move the needle. Then over time the design grows on you, then one day you find yourself drawn to it. If your comfy right away it sometimes means the boat wasn't pushed out far enough and it dates sooner.
Not saying it's the case with the IX but time will tell. |
Tesla have of course spent a fair bit of their time in the sandbox doing such things as … supportive a charging network.
Ionity is a total joke where I live which is pretty core U.K. I've even zoomed even further out into be map scale for Ionity and it seems if my out and back range in a BMW (which can be about 200 miles on many models) I'd need to divert about 100 miles to use a charger.
I haven't yet but likely will happily accept many of the Tesla compromises for what is effectively a vehicle I can use for more than just local runs and a work commute.
