I think you nailed it !
I have a neighbor with two Rivian trucks. I don't like the funky headlights - deal breaker for me.
Just my two cents.

My brother bought an Ioniq5 last year. He liked it at first (his first EV), but noted the suspension felt like a marshmallow. A few months ago he got rear ended at a stoplight (distracted driver) and the insurance company declared the car totaled (they do that now if moderate damage) and gave him its value. He took the money and bought a slightly used Audi A4 AWD. He doesn't miss the Ioniq.

Grant is a NZ Ducati, Guzzi guy who used to race. His blog is epic. Motorcycles first, cars and women second equal, food and design. I love looking at his pictorials.

You're not alone. The early adopters of these cars are often tech-savvy folks who like

My jeep (2015 Cherokee) has both climate control buttons and switches I use them all the time. Wonder what the average age of an Escalade owner is? Expensive vehicle so I’m guessing it trends to the older side.
Around my area, GM execs will drive them...then, who knows? I used to see the Lyriqs at our local charging station (Meijer lot, just off the freeway) when they were apparently testing charging of the Ultium platform.
Anyway...a couple of those jerks had those Hummer EVs at our Harper Cruise a couple of years ago, being general douchenozzles and doing crab walks (like anyone wanted to see that 🙄) while causing traffic disruptions. Sadly there's no gatekeeping as it's a "public" event. I used to go to the end of our street or walk Harper to see what classics and hot rods folks were driving, not watch these assholes in newer "musclecars" cracking the throttle just to draw attention to their pathetic lives or worse, lifted pickups with certain flags flying in the bed. Two reasons I don't bother going anymore.
I admire anyone with talent enough to keep those older cars on the road. In other words, it should take more effort than making a car payment every month.
Amazing car.
I'm reading a book right now about the history of the 1950's and they cover the auto industry. There was a guy at GM who pioneered "status" marketing to more affluent customers and he ordered the car designers at that time to make the cars bigger and bigger styling elements like these exaggerated fins and tail lights. Often performance was secondary to the design. It was an amazing era of original and flamboyant car design.

I need something with a roots blower. What am I doing with my life.

What a difference the photo from the front makes. I was going to comment the 4 chrome exhaust tips in the rear don’t look exactly stock.
What’s Wall-E doing in the engine bay?
