The R2 isn't due until 2026 and the R3 and R3X will be after that. I feel like they have no chance of making their price and release date targets.

Canoo has a interesting take with extra vision in front with a window under the windshield.I suppose that the entire front end of EVs is a bit of a mare to design as all the traditional looks don't need to be there. Hell the entire front end doesn't need to be there now as there isn't a massive, complicated chunk of hot exploding iron there.

-I know minivans are in steep decline in terms of popularity but I can see EV and a mini-bus concept going great together...
I like the smaller styling. Just wish these new companies would stop trying to do the tons of stuff running through the central iPad look though. Give me some buttons and knobs for key functions.
-What is with automakers going out of their way making the ugliest possible electric vehicles they can? Is it a crime to have something that clean that doesn't look like they threw the kitchen sink at it?
I really like the look of the idbuzz! It's one of the few "statement" EVs I don't think looks awful.-What is with automakers going out of their way making the ugliest possible electric vehicles they can?

I have a friend that's supposed to be getting one, I'm looking forward to seeing it in reality.- I just think it has too much going on (especially that image). Two tone paint job, tinted rear windows, funkly little grille on the front, weird speed stripe things on the back A frame, just slightly tapered design so it looks more like a mistake than intentional design, tiny malformed frunk for no reason...
We should be getting a three row mini-wagon that has the footprint of a cross-over and the outline of an old school VW-Bus, but its not happening (*pounds fists* the way I WANT *throws tantrum*).
Maybe it'll look better with some additional trims. Glad someone is doing an EV mini-van, I feel like we're ready to move passed the "mini-vans are lame so I am going to get a massive land barge SUV to fulfill the same purpose but worse" phase as a society.
With our large trucks and giant hoods, I thought we had a universal consensus about short people. Now Canoo does this.Canoo has a interesting take with extra vision in front with a window under the windshield.

I have a Mini Cooper and I parked next to one of those in the work car park awhile back to kinda point out how not mini they are.
When BMW decided to push the Mini brand in the American market it was the end of Mini as Mini. The original Mini design was product of post-war scarcity. Now that we are in a perma-war era, no need for such sacrifice.I have a Mini Cooper and I parked next to one of those in the work car park awhile back to kinda point out how not mini they are.
Finished work in the morning and there was an original Mini Cooper parked next to me that showed how not mini the modern Mini Coopers are!

Wish we could get a car version of the hatchback.
What do you mean by "Car Version". The R3 hatchback is not very big. At most it's about 175" long.
A Honda Civic Hatchback (definitely a car) is 184" long.
I wouldn't mind seeing an R3 variant without the stupid lift and plastic fenders. Something more traditional hatchback.
I don't think there is much lift on the base model. Probably has 7" of ground clearance, vs a normal car with 6".
R3X with it's bigger wheels is the more "off road" oriented one with more ground clearance.
Maybe you're right. All that plastic cladding cheapens the look.
