Russia presents electric car Amber, public wishes it hadn't -- photo

[OnlinePoker]

This has now set the standard for ugly cars. What's funny, it comes with towing hooks visible on the front. Lada for the new generation.

-------------------------------

Moscow Polytechnic University unveiled the prototype of the Russian electric car Amber on Dec. 18, sarcastically dubbed the "Tesla Killer" on social media.

Its development was reportedly commissioned by the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad, known for producing cars from BMW, Ford, KIA, and Hyundai until Western sanctions prompted a shift to this new venture.

3. It is ugly. Maybe Putin enlisted the same design engineer that Musk used to design the Cyber truck.

Even for russia, there is little to like in that design. Maybe I just need more vodka?

7. The only way THAT thing will be a "Tesla Killer"

That would be if Elon Musk were to see a photo of it and die laughing.

[Think. Again.]

8. I guess that's one way to...

...turn people off of EVs, but I'm sure oil-state russia is working on many more ways too.
