    I absolutely love these designs - finally the Usborn Book of the Future is coming true!

    Maybe I’m at the prime old judgemental age of almost being in my 30’s, but I can’t stand the designs for a lot of EV only cars. To the point where I have little to no interest in buying one that isn’t a (heavy) EV redo of an existing car. These EV only cars look forced futuristic to the point where they look impractical or just kinda dumb. Like the van they made looks like a box on wheels (the cabin did look cool from the concept art admittedly). BMW has this issue too with some of their EV only cars. There was no level of excitement added to it, nothing fun about it just forced futuristic with muted colors, super soft or rough angles, weird shapes, odd features, all that sorta stuff. And where are the mirrors on the Saloon? I suppose they’re probably just cameras, but to me that’s just something else electronic that’ll break, or it’s a menu screen that you can’t see when you’re trying to adjust the temperature on a different menu screen. I feel like a regular dashboard with tactile buttons was perfectly functional. And where is the wheel? I get some vehicles like the Cybertruck and other Tesla’s have the adjusted turn radius for the lack of a wheel (I’m assuming that’s what these have too), but the wheel is better because you have more points of contact and the turn radius can still be adjusted. I don’t know, maybe I’m too poor to know any better cause I can’t afford fancy cars like that, but the car looks silly and I’m upset about it. I suppose things could be worse. Just needed to get my two cents in.
