I doubt it will ever see the light of day here, simply because it seems designed to slice pedestrians into their component parts and will fail all the EU safety checks. No bad thing, it is fugly beyond belief. Amazing that they managed to turn the insane demands of Elton Spunk into a reality, but holy shit it is hideous.

I don't actually hate the look of the thing. It's extremely ugly in a traditional sense, don't get me wrong, but having been watching and playing sci-fi media for decades it's refreshing to see someone move towards that hugely impractical aesthetic. Just think of all the accidents at the Tesla factory* a shape that simple will save on; why lose ten employees' arms beating a panel into a rounded bumper when you can just slice one off in a metal press and be finished in time for the next squashed labour-union meeting.
*The episode of The Dollop that focused on Musk was one of the craziest I've listened to. Tesla had more accidents than every other car plant in the US combined. At one point Musk demanded that all of the safety markings on the floor and machinery be changed from yellow to grey because he thought they looked better.
