Attractiveness is an interesting point; it would be interesting to see a “boring” normal looking car that doesn’t lean into the somewhat polarizing EV aesthetic.

OK, I didn't mean attractive as in how it looks, I mean more that it has a tiny battery, and it doesn't have a fast charger either, the cheap model you can't even get as an extra!. It's not a "real" car IMO, but more something that can be used as a 2nd car, maybe for shopping. It's simply so underwhelming in every way for its price IMO.
