I miss boxy or robot looking 80s cars (ie. AW11 MR2) and smooth lines 90s cars (Rx7) but this modern combination of both you see in today's car design are abortions.
Lets give it smooth edges but give it weird angles all over the place so it looks like it's going to morph into some Japanese anime mecha.

Pretty sure there's some good open source motor controllers. I've got a buddy that dabbles in electric vehicles, he's got some interesting projects.
I think the problem is still batteries. You can put cheap gas in a cheap car, but you can't put cheap batteries in a cheap e-car. No such thing.
