Some designers don't get it. Too much ego. Those are the one's who would have failed to finish a cathedral over several generations within the same style (re-read chapter 4 of "The Mythical Man-Month" to understand).
It's a distraction. And a pure driver's car avoids any distraction.
Tesla roadster. “Drives upside down, flies, does flips, 0-60 in 0.81s”
I would fire the marketing team.
Who gives a fuck? Never have i used a key and thought "wow, I wish the metal was different, that would noticeably change my experience".
Zero info about the engine on the page - or is it electric? The page doesn't really say.
For a sports car, that sort of info is kinda important?
1. Governments pulling back on EV transition leading to car companies pulling back from EVs as well. For example, some companies that had previously said "we've designed out last gas engine" now are designing new ones.
2. Turns out gas + EV can be even better than pure electric for a sports car (so I gather)
3. People who drives cars like this DGAF about emissions
Please add spaces after periods. The presentation is terrible.
1000HP of EV power, definitely not a V8
Lightly related, here’s the design patent for the original Targa design:

Poor timing.
Tesla roadster. "Hold my key, i might actually get delivered in 2-5 years after waiting for 10"
I'd rather have an aluminum key.
But I'd much rather have a premium car from a manufacturer with premium car standards. Have you seen the panel gaps on Teslas? They're like fancy Ladas!
