I agree ref jlr build. Another good example however. The f pace is a good looking car. The ipace is one of the weirdest designs on the road.SAC1 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 9:11 pmCouldn't agree more.Winryn wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 8:46 pm I love the performance and the technology of the Tesla. But I cannot see past the awful looks, terrible interior and woeful build quality. I’m not sure I understand the electric car market. For me, give me the Tesla tech and wrap it in an appealing package. Nice looks, interior, badge etc and I’m sold. But every option is a weird quirky take on a car
Taycan is great actually but expensive. All the Audis look frumpy, bmw don’t get me started. That new ix3 is outrageous. Polestar nice interior but again exterior doesn’t appeal. Vw id3/4 are not as nice as the equivalent golf and Tiguan. The normal looking offerings from Peugeot, mini have limited range. The Skoda suv is probably the nicest option out there for me.
I tried the iPace 3 years ago and that was pretty good. But that niggling JLR reliability and build quality reputation put me off. Also the away from home recharging nightmares. This is the one thing that Tesla have got really right compared to all the others.
Make one of the following and I’d be interested:
Macan gts looking as it does with electric motors
Golf r or Audi s3 with electric
Even better the new rs3 with electric
BMW 3 series touring looking like the m340i with electric.
Tiguan r
Audi rsq3
Rs4/5
So many cool cars out there which would appeal with Tesla motor and battery tech underneath
