This setup is ultra-slim, ultra-secure, and it looks pretty great....

For everyone else, it can be a chore to experience the thrill of electric torque. Plus, if you’re interested in an EV, but the folks around you are less inclined, well, that can be an issue. It’s especially problematic when you visit a dealership, and the salesperson steers you away from the EV you were there to see to check out a gas-powered vehicle. Sometimes, it’s because they don’t know all that much about EVs, and it’s tough to sell something you don’t quite understand....
