I didn't even know this was a thing that existed. From what I can gather, it's a Toyota RAV4 body with a Tesla-designed battery and motor system. Apparently they are planning on producing only 2600 of them, and they are limited to California.
For my tastes, it has way too many "EV" logos. There's the giant EV on the front, a large "Electric" badge on each rocker panel (with the letter "E" colored blue so you know it's... something?), plus the logos on the rear hatch.

The EV logos are obnoxious, but it looks pretty decent, to be honest.

My primary issue is that it's based on the RAV4, the car is so damn average in every way.

I'd have to agree. Sizewise, it's pretty comparable to a late-model Subaru Forester, so it's not huge but it looks like you could haul just about anything with the seats folded down.

That grill is atrocious. Then again, I'm not in their target market.
These are targeted to people that want everybody to know they drive an EV.
"Oh hey, I saw you got a new car. Is that a RAV4?"
"No. It's a RAV4 EV. Stupid pleibeian. *sniffs fart*"

They did it with the first gen too. Someone in my town has one, I see it around occasionally.
