    I saw one in person for the first time just the other week. No matter how obvious it might seem by looking at pictures and videos, they really are that ugly and seeing one in person is different.

      I think they’re pretty cool looking. My only issue is the impracticality of the storage. And the reliability. And the finish getting stained by anything. And all the recalls. And the sharp edges. And the UI. And Tesla’s main guy. And the price. Otherwise I’d buy one.

            Except I bet they wont even function by then unless buyers also homebrew Tesla online services. At least DeLoreans aren’t Internet connected and can’t be disabled remotely.

        There’s really no capturing it on pics. In person they’re so ugly it’s funny. It might be that they’re bigger than I realized from the pics, and that they’re so friggin heavy that they sort of bounce over bumps, but they’re just terrible.

        I’m surprised by how many of them I see though. I’m sure that’s partly because there’s no missing one of it’s in visual range, combined with the fact that I’m in southern California, where EVs are generally very popular.
