Looks are important but performance is everything, they say u eat with your eyes first then taste later, but if the food tastes terrible all hell breaks loose regardless of looks. We need a balance between performance and price, its always been the problem with electric cars. At least 50% to 50% balance. Then you will see the masses flocking to buy it.

These cars look pretty homey — not really in the same league with Tesla or Fiskar, are they? Sure, the others are more expensive, but if Coda is going to put out something that looks like a Japanese or Korean compact for $40K, then it’s hard to imagine them invoking the kind of passion in their customers that a startup car company needs to survive.
