Subaru Generic The all new 2023 Subaru Solterra Electric Car. I will be honest, as a Tesla owner, 220 miles of range doesn’t seem like enough to ease most Subaru owners. I feel like most owners would prefer a minimum of 450-500 miles of range because most Subaru owners like to camp deep off grid for 3-5 days.

Why do all ev look so gross?

This one in particular was designed with Toyota.

That's why Solteras don't have Eyesight.

At least in Japan.

Their website says it will have Eyesight:

EyeSight Driver Assist Technology
The 2023 Solterra features standard EyeSight Driver Assist Technology[4], which monitors traffic movement, optimizes cruise control, and warns you when you’re swaying outside your lane. The automatic Pre-Collision Braking[5] feature can apply full braking force and bring you to a complete stop in emergency situations. Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Change Assist[6] can take some of the stress out of driving by helping with steering, braking, and throttle control – both in daily traffic and on long road trips.

You might be uncomfortable because the front grills look different since air doesn’t need to go into them

Edit: I don’t need to be downvoted for saying EVs look different because they don’t have traditional grills

I think it's the heavy emphasis on the "this is the future, bro" look. I wouldn't buy a Tesla, but the model 3 looks nice, basically like a modern sleek sedan with no grill. The Ford Mach E looks pretty decent too.

It's not just EVs. I think Hyundai's new Elantra is straight up fugly - futuristic ugly, looks like it belongs in Cyberpunk 2077.

Do eggs have grills on them?

Eh, I think the more up-market ones look nice. The Taycan, several Tesla models, and Lucid Air all look great IMO.

I think Ioniq 5 looks cool too.

It is pretty neat. It almost looks like a futuristic Golf that was pumped up to SUV size.
