There is no amount of lipstick that will make this pig look good.
This pig is about to become very expensive. Low cost and high precision are incompatible. I do not think that LEGO is cheap for what amounts to a few grams of plastic.
Electric cars have become more and more successful partly because the crappy futuristic designs are going away (but also cost and availability of used electric cars that are cheaper). Most people just wanted a car that has an electric motor. If every car that exists today were electric, the futuristic ones would not role the marketplace. Even the model s, 3, y and x are designed to look like normal cars. Companies used to just design cars they thought looked nice. For a time they had been designing electric looking cars on purpose. Designs that they clearly only made to look different. Most were ugly as sin . Just make an ordinary but nice looking electric truck ffs.
