The inspiration for the black trim around the bottom of the car to hide the potbelly battery pack came from fat guys using a beard to hide their extra chins/lack of a jawline. It’s a very human design.
600k ouch. Interior definitely way better than the MB AMG GT, but for 4x the price I suppose it better be.
The exterior looks like they extended a Nissan Cube.
