But does it have auto-pilot or at least the current Tesla equivalent?
Car would look better if it weren't two tone.

Maybe not ugly, but the styling isn't on par for something that's going to cost 6-figures. The side view is a bit Volkswagonish. The rear looks like a Camry. And the fussy black and silver bits around the front wheel well is, well cheap and fussy-looking.

Looks like a Honda and an S class got together.
Does it need to be a swamp of asymmetric flesh-tones for you to approve?

With a 478 mile range, seems reasonable to presume a lot of its form is following function.

I dunno. If it was all 1 color, I don't think it'd be too hideous, for a boring luxury sedan.

Burn the fire.

I'm not digging it. Seems a bit behind the curve on styling for an EV, following Toyota and Honda too much.

Horrible. If I'm going to buy something that ugly, I would just get it over with, and get a model Y.

Irritated? No. I think the styling misses the mark too. -looked better with the spy wrap on. It's just that you seem to be moved by ugly.
