I’m with you on this. In certain pics and angles it doesn’t look the best but I don’t think they are that ugly anymore now that I’ve seen them on the road. Kind of like them now but I would never own one.

I couldn’t snap a pic but I saw an i7 today.
That is positively without a doubt what my EV would be were I in the market in that price range. It looks the same as the gas one. Smart move.

I'm not really a benz guy at all, but I think the current S Class looks better than the current 7 series, but the i7 looks better than the EQS.
I think if I was in the market for an EV sedan, I'd get the i5. I think the new 5 series styling is better than the 7, and I don't need the extra space anyway.

Honestly the only complaint I have about the G60/i5 isn't that it's ugly(I don't think it is, and it's certainly better than a lot of other BMW products right now), but that it kind of abandons the classic 5 series lines down the length of the car, as well as ruining the hoffmeister kink that they're famous for.

My P2 is a 2022 Dual Motor and uses the same asynchronous motor in the front and rear, and currently at 90 percent SoC we get around 220 miles of range. Not great, but it's also mainly used as a commuter. At 479 hp and a 0 to 60 of around 3.7 seconds, it's the funnest of all my cars

The Model Y is 384 HP/375 ft-lbs torque, and does 0 to 60 in about 4.6 seconds, the Polestar has 476 HP/502 ft-lbs torque and does 0 to 60 in about 3.7 seconds. In a straight line 0 to 80, there are not a lot of cars below a C8 that can take me from a dig. The Model Y probably handles better than the Polestar as it (the Polestar) tends to understeer a bit, but in a straight line it's definitely funner than the Y. I can get my passengers to go into panic mode in the Polestar if I put my foot to the floor, not as much in the Y 
The Y is definitely fun to drive, but the Polestar takes it to another level
