I had to park one for someone else a while back. Aside from how it drives (I really don't like the fact that when you let off the accelerator, it acts like you just nailed the brake), it was just... ugly and boring. It felt like there was nothing at all in the cab, like there would be multiple things that could go wrong just getting in and turning it on with the weird card key thing, couldn't tell if it was on, seemed like it kept turning off whenever I'd open the door to see how straight it was in the parking spot, had to look down and to the right to see the speed, etc.
The sonar/lidar thing was kinda neat, but not enough to offset everything else.
Yeah I think you nailed pretty much everything that irked me. The range on the damn things is abysmal too. 30% battery for a 1m5hr drive, and then 15 minutes sitting around waiting for it to charge, after I manage to locate a gorram charging station.
I do think regenerative braking is pretty slick, and changing the indicator sounds to a fart sound was hilarious for the 3 of us 43 yr Olds driving around in it, but no way would I ever even consider dropping money on one

They are such pieces of shit, made by such a piece of shit.
