The concept version scratched an itch I’ve had about seeing cyberpunk influence in modern car design really well. The more recent images remind me that it’s indeed a soulless corpo who would create a cyberpunk hell scape in a heartbeat if it could.

It's this. I want a Tron themed EV and I want it to not look stupid driving around suburbia.

And I'm afraid that those two things are mutually exclusive. Part of the cyberpunk aesthetic is the lack of soccer moms and hotdog stands.
