They made a car uglier than most new cars out there, which is no small feat

Ferarri was once asked by a journalist they'd ever design a Ferrari "for 
the female driver" and I can't recall which PR person it was but they 
replied something like "Ferrari doesn't design cars _for_ anyone!"

But that's what "exclusive" luxury brands tend to do, people buy them 
cuz they're expensive and other people who are poor don't have them, not 
because they're super-pragmatic purchases. Go buy a Chevy if you want a 
car someone will tell you was designed for you.

Anyway the usual suspects are calling it "woke" who the hell knows what 
"woke" means in this context other than that it's an EV and it looks 
dumb and expensive. "Woke" just means "anything I don't like" at this point.
