Why are EV designs so conservative?
A combustion engined car is always going to have some sort of ideal shape based on the packaging of the engine and gearbox.
The main constraint of EVs is aero, not packaging. An EV doesn't need any particular shape, theoretically you could make the battery an integral part of the lower part of the chassis and have a complete clean sheet for what a car can actually do spatially and aesthetically.
Instead you get stupid pastiche shit like this. That shape would make perfect sense if they needed to shove an 8 litre V12 in the front, but there's literally nothing there. Half the car is entirely wasted space just because they're working with imaginary constraints.

Cucked , not conservative

>>28597981 (OP)
they're not conservative designs. they are brutalist and soulless. they are designed to reflect the multicultural brownoid poverty stricken low iq slave class they'd like us all to br part of

>aero for good range efficiency
>need some space in front of passenger compartment for crash safety
>needs to somewhat look like a car since that’s what people expect
Hyundai understands this. The front section is there for aero and safety, but shrunken down to allow much more interior space.

the new jag is literally the only ev that tries the long hood, and it did that very specifically to evoke the luxurious sedans of days long gone. it is not conservative, it revives something that's been dead for almost half a century, because with modern car and engine dimensions- large and small respectively- you couldn't justify a gigantic hood on anything bigger than a viper, you have to actually literally waste that space if you were to achieve these proportions. if it's an ev, you can have a big fuckoff hood for that old timey money gap between front wheel and door, and fill that entire space with batteries. aero be damned, you're filthy rich and lug around a literal ton of batteries, you couldn't care less about the local coal powerplant burning five more tons a year just because of you personally and your brick of a dickmobile. you got yourself an ev not because it's eco, you got it because it's large, opulent, expensive and goes like hell despite weighing in at five tons. you are a winner. you think big. and now for the first time in decades, you can get big.
at least, in a parallel reality where jaguar didn't use nine-o-clock afro gang to promote their 21st century duesenberg and nuked both their reputation and the reputation of the concept car.

BEVs are cucked by their absolute requirement to be aerodynamically efficient or suffer being a five ton behemoth no one wants or can afford. The Faguar concept doesn't come across like the typical BEV. It looks a lot more like the designer really likes CP'77 and wanted to design a car that could exist in that world.

Jesus Christ, that is ugly.

>>28598014
pretty much, and that's why it's kinda based. and why it's so sad that their execs decided to associate it with the freakshow circus and sink it before it could even float.

>>28597981 (OP)
Women and fags are designing cars these days, not straight white men, so the designs are not logical. They won't make sense to someone with a logical brain because they're made by hipster retards.

>>28597991
Absolure beauty

Tesla take advantage of the absence of engine to make the hood low for improved visibility and add a frunk.
Traditional automakers (VAG, Stellantis) keep the hood high for no reason and don’t add a frunk.
It truly is over for eurocucks.

>supposed to have good aero, not limited by ICE architecture
>still has that draggy 120° bonnet-windscreen transition

>>28598906
The ioniq 6 has one of the lowest drag coefficients of any production car

>>28599261
Just let anon post his single frame screenshots of some cfd and larp as a cfd engineer.

>>28599261
Every EV on the market has one of the lowest drag coefficients of any car. They literally say that exact same thing about every single new EV that comes out. They're all between 0.21-0.23 with the lowest of the low being 0.20 but none have gone below that.
It's almost a completely useless metric because its effect on drag is only part of a formula (CdAV2) that also involves the frontal area of the vehicle which no one knows how to even calculate. A car with a lower Cd would still have the same drag as a car with a higher Cd if they had different frontal areas.

but cyberpunk cars run on cyber ethanol, not batteries

>>28600520
it's also a video game and not actually real.

>>28600530
incorrect, video games are real

>>28600530
ethanol is fuel in real life too, anon

tl;dr. i will never drive an ev faggotmobile

Cucktruck detected a violation, driving while black. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

too bad this was fake

also this

Instant Tesla shill replies, every time.

>>28600558
yeah but no it was actually a fake made for that guys rap video
a real cybertruck error screen looks like picrel

don't be a teslafag, don't fall for bait

>>28600558
lmao. teslas are deathtraps

>>28600565
reply to yourself again

>>28600558
Not trying to convince you to buy a tesla, I'm just compelled to shit on retarded posts that I come across

>>28600566
10 rupees added to your account. Thank you for defending Tesla(tm)

>>28600567
facts
we have to have standards, this isn't reddit
we can't be seen posting fake shit and soijakking over it
anyone who posts fake shit deserves death, but it is much easier to sage and report.

bloody basterd tesla is good car for good brahmin like me saar

>>28600539
but it's not viable to be used as a primary fuel source for the entire planet.

>>28600581
lmao shut the fuck up nigger

thats where the cyber-GMO-superwheat comes in

Ironically the freedom of style brought by the EV power plant was immediately cannibalized by safety regulatory devices. The car of the future will look nothing like a car yet bloated at the same time

>>28600600
It's not though. You can't genetically modify sugarcane to explode better.

>>28600627
Look I'm not trying to get into the weeds on this, I just wanted to say that crazy cyber-ethanol hot rods are way cooler than EVs

>>28600632
I don't recall anyone ever saying anything contrary to this point.
