I think this is the same car and is a pretty radical look. Can't say I like it.

Cats are going to want to jump on top of it and ride it.
I believe that's the LF-30 concept; my post is the LF-Z.
Come to think of it, the area around the Lex is pretty darn clean...
You can definitely see the evolution from the current Lexus lineup. Very futuristic and sharp lines. Also included is a lot of AI so the car learns about you as you go. Self driving is already built in and expanding as Japan has been pushing the technology to production faster than the US. That’s in part to their government. They will have self driving vehicles ready for the Olympics.
The interior is really interesting. It is actually simple yet the features are built in. A three dimensional windshield is a key item though there is not much info out there about it. A HUD will take the place of a instrument panel for example.
It will be fascinating to follow.

I kind of like it. It's too bad most concept vehicles get watered down to mediocrity.
But it matters not, it will be on the side of the road, with a dead battery, just like the others. God I'm seeing a lot of EV's dead on I-95 lately.
It used to be, in the 1980's that a broken down motorist on a remote stretch of highway was likely to be a Harley rider with some form of mechanical malfunction (most often it was the points or a wire vibrating loose). But today, it's Tesla's and other EV's. People do like to push their luck.

Hopefully that’s not the case but people will have to relearn the range on these as they were so used to the longer range of gasoline engines.
I also hope the design doesn’t get too diluted from the concept but government regulations regarding safety and such tend to do just that.
This is the funniest thing ever.
Tesla's vehicles give you plenty of warning as the end draws nigh, with multiple notifications popping up to tell you that the battery is getting low and needs to be recharged soon. When it gets really low, your Tesla will suggest charging locations like the nearest Supercharger and let you know when you're getting out of range of the nearest one.
"Blame yourself!"
I really do think people believe there is some form of secret reserve power. In much the same way as many gas cars will say "empty" and still go for 50+ miles. Maybe Tesla should give the owners who run their batteries out an "overnight update" that builds in that secret reserve
by sandbagging.
Remember the early VW bugs that had no gas guage but had the reserve tank you could flip with your foot?I really do think people believe there is some form of secret reserve power.

Tesla should take a lesson!
Well, the same people would probably push their luck anyways...
People run out of gas all the time with millions of stations a hairs breadth away.
It blows my mind.
Having driven vehicles like gasoline 460 cube 3/4 ton trucks that got 9 in the city and highway. big block chevelles that got 200 miles a tank, I have no problem with todays ranges.
Younger kids ask me what the old school big blocks were like and the closest thing to them is really an electric car in terms of torque off idle.

I bumped this thread because I saw this video. The video focuses on the exterior only. The design elements are very interesting though it remains to be seen how much of that will make it to production.
A lot of very neat ideas and design here.

Ideas include a wired hand crank, two electrodes to stab into a potato, or a lid you can flip over to snap in 8 D cells…
