What I want to see is Tesla come up with a sequel which is another hit. I feel like their car styling was comfortably out there when electric cars first came on to the scene but now it's become incredibly safe. Other companies, now they are building specific EVs rather than throwing some batteries in the back of an existing car and calling it an EV, are really starting to play with the concept and are making some great looking cars. Cars like the Ionic 5 and the Honda-E for example are making the Tesla's look old hat.

Not a fan personally. Looks like someone tried to make a truck out of a table napkin.

I was just pointing out that their next design isn't "safe", as you find their current designs.

Both those cars look hideous to me.

I would argue objectively that you are wrong, or at least that a significant percentage of the population disagree with you. The Ionic 5 at the moment has such a long waiting list that people are selling them second hand for more than they actually cost to buy new.
Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that the Tesla aesthetic is due for a refresh. Whether they have to go as unconventional as some other manufacturers have is up for debate but that they need to come up with something new surely isn't.
