They're not supposed to look good, they're supposed to be easily identifiable. Of course, in a few years when everything looks like that they'll have to change it (for example look at the 2019 Prius).

They're far from the ugliest loving cars on the planet, but they aren't gorgeous by any means.

The model s is a generic large sedan with no real distinguishing features. It looks like a Jaguar that someone ran meshSmooth on a few times.

the model x is the same car but scaled vertically 140% so it is quite disproportionate. bloated and gross looking.

The model 3 is a generic midsize sedan with no real distinguishing features except the neo-mouth front end, which at least is an attempt at something new and unusual, though it's not very well resolved.

The best-looking Tesla is the roadster, which looks like a zippy little sports car with fairly tight bodywork, but that's because it's a lotus with different front and rear clamshells.

The e tron GT is a Porsche taycan chassis with Audi components. Here's a little hint about sports cars by the way : if an established manufacturer gives you vehicle dimensions on the millimeter in his prospects and advertisements, but you can't find a single weight or mass information apart from "our new battery technology is allowing us to make lighter electric vehicles" then this is because the manufacturer is so ashamed about how fat the car is that he fears becoming a laughingstock in objective comparisons.

The taycan/e tron GT will weight in a long way over the 2 tons, making them awful performance cars past the one gimmick trick all EVs have, accelerating from a stand still.

Yes its still 10 times less stupid than a tesla because at least it's a good car.

Does it also blow up on month 37 of ownership like other audis? Also audi will have an EV SUV for 2019 already, and that's bound to sell way more than this.

short of a revolution in materials science or fundamental physics, no one anywhere ever will release a lightweight BEV. that's just not going to be a thing unless it has a range of like 50km
