I've seen a few of these around town in the last month or so. Probably because the Tesla engineering center is on one of my frequent bike routes. My wife agrees 100% with BowDown's assessment.
I'm a little different. I agree that the shape is odd and certainly isn't beautiful in any conventional sense. But it is quirky and I like it. What I don't like is the stainless steel finish. Even from across an intersection, the car seems to show handprints and other grease smudges. I don't see how anybody can keep it looking clean. It doesn't even have a macho "I've been playing in the mud" look. More like a "I'm too lazy to keep my truck looking nice" appearance.

Angular, not graceful. It's rumored that some of them are starting to rust. Depending on the alloy, stain-less does not necessarily mean stain-free. Will we see a variety of "wraps", maybe even surrender to paint? Not for me, I think, but interesting...

Still a big ol NOPE
Looks like a lifted Delorean but much worse lol, I’m sure you’ll see enough of them on the road from people who want different and have more money than brains.

At least compensating for the fact that it's the only wiper on a really huge windshield. Looks to me like your basic single point failure. Beyond that, it's hard to tell.I'm sure its compensating for something...

Wow. The chop shops in Detroit don’t waste any time
For some reason, this put a crazy idea in my head. Who's up for electric demolition derbies?
