However it is very generic \u00e2\u20ac\u201d a bit and pieces here of a Jaguar, Toyota Camry in size, and bulbous in shape.<\/p>\n<p>The Model 3 is definitely an improvement \u00e2\u20ac\u201d it seems more like a shark (front end of a Porsche 911) and the tail lights and end definitely is distinctly \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tesla\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. The Model X with the falcon wings are very cool, but it is a bit too big. The Model Y is certainly a huge innovation (perfect hybrid between the Model 3 and Model X), but still &#8230; it seems a bit too plain for my tastes.<\/p>\n<p>And even if you think about it, there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not too much variety you can get in a Tesla. Most people will probably opt for the white package, or the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153all black\u00e2\u20ac\u009d aesthetic, or perhaps red to be a bit more bold (but even the red color paint job isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t bold or bright enough). So the question:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Is it fine to just get a very good generic design that \u00e2\u20ac\u0153just works\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, or should we strive towards more extreme, unconventional aesthetics?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>My thought for now:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Opt for extreme.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>ERIC<\/p>\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-design-thoughts\"><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/design\/\">DESIGN THOUGHTS<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1180\" height=\"869\" data-attachment-id=\"308983\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/4accc122-d0a6-499a-b20a-76cfd2563461\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/4ACCC122-D0A6-499A-B20A-76CFD2563461.jpeg?fit=1242%2C915&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1242,915\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"hand red black macro ERIC KIM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/4ACCC122-D0A6-499A-B20A-76CFD2563461.jpeg?fit=1242%2C915&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/4ACCC122-D0A6-499A-B20A-76CFD2563461.jpeg?resize=1180%2C869&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"hand red black macro ERIC KIM\" class=\"wp-image-308983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/4ACCC122-D0A6-499A-B20A-76CFD2563461.jpeg?w=1242&amp;ssl=1 1242w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/4ACCC122-D0A6-499A-B20A-76CFD2563461.jpeg?resize=768%2C566&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/4ACCC122-D0A6-499A-B20A-76CFD2563461.jpeg?resize=920%2C678&amp;ssl=1 920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1180px) 100vw, 1180px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/05\/03\/not-hateful-design\/\">Not Hateful Design<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/04\/17\/new-forward-facing-design-vs-retrospective-and-nostalgic-design\/\">New Forward Facing Design vs Retrospective and Nostalgic Design<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/04\/15\/depressing-design-vs-uplifting-design\/\">Depressing Design vs Uplifting Design<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/04\/15\/the-best-design-towards-what-ends\/\">The Best Design Towards What Ends?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/04\/09\/exciting-or-boring-design\/\">Exciting or Boring Design?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/04\/01\/on-design-photography\/\">On Design &amp;
