Apart from looking spider like from the front (the eight legged variety), it has a major failing for the UK IMHO...I think doors are very weird.
Windows at the bottom and a big gap at the top- looks like they are on upside down and aiming to be the local rubbish container...and when it rains...you will gt soaked.
Another example of style over practicality, and that's a shame as a car should be practical and stylish...

Looks fun if you can find somewhere slippery enough :-)

..or even something quite fun and vaguely practical with proper doors like a Smart Roadster.

The trubble with all electric cars is that the compromises aren't outweighed by the benefits. Smarts are compromised, but the performance and economy gains from being tiny and light DO make them worthwhile.
