I quite like it too. If the fin was removed and it had a Kamm back it could look quite nice but I agree about the dash...to minimalistic...

Minimalist exterior styling is really nice if you ignore the fin. Same for the interior actually. This is an EV so what info would you like to see on any extra dials? There is no mention of the data that could be shown on the electronic display - I imagine it would be very easy to display certain info, such as remaining capacity/range.

 

I rather like the idea of the speedometer being in the middle of the steering wheel. It seems the designers have picked up on the Alfa idea that actual speed is for the driver to know and the passenger to not be concerned about.

It's the automotive style equivalent of the old joke:

 

"For a man you're ugly, for a woman you're a dog."

 

The Mini is a cute car this just misses the style and design cues from the car it's based on.

But it has a steering wheel and cant drive itself. It's not what today's yoof expect.

They want to be driven: they'll buy a Googlemobile.
