Hear me out: a bare minimum electronics car extremely reliable, no screens no bells and whistles and with the smallest possible engine battery that costs less than $5.000 💥
Citroën Ami is available. Closer to $8000 and technically a quadricycle. All bare minimum to make it street legal.
It's great Citroën is making a small, cheap EV ... but why did they make it look like a cross between a Fiat Multipla and a pug?
That thing is ugly.
All cheap cars are made ugly on purpose to make the expensive models more attractive to buy.
"Why is this $8,000 car so terrible," he lamented, without a trace of irony.
It isn't "terrible", it's ugly because of purely aesthetic design choices: specifically that Fiat Multipla style "forehead ridge". It's a styling problem -- not a form factor or price point one.
That thing's front and back are exactly the same. It saves on fabrication costs to use the same part but it gives a weird look.
Turns out there are after market mods for that. Spoiler, other front, flame paint job
What a compact thing, also charges to full in just 3 hours from a normal outlet 🤯
You can get an electric motorcycle for that price. Even electric microcars cost more than $5000. Unless you want to buy a Chinese tin can death machine on four wheels that aren’t street legal.

I mean, it's not like micro cars are safe
