Well, obviously not for young people who DON'T want to keep their hands off
each other (and various parts thereof)!

 Looks ugly and uncomfortable.

They made a car uglier than most new cars out there, which is no small feat

Jag is going New-Coke Bud-Light crazy. They sound desperate.

Ferarri was once asked by a journalist they'd ever design a Ferrari "for the female driver" and I can't recall which PR person it was but they replied something like "Ferrari doesn't design cars _for_ anyone!"
But that's what "exclusive" luxury brands tend to do, people buy them cuz they're expensive and other people who are poor don't have them, not because they're super-pragmatic purchases. Go buy a Chevy if you want a car someone will tell you was designed for you.
Anyway the usual suspects are calling it "woke" who the hell knows what "woke" means in this context other than that it's an EV and it looks dumb and expensive. "Woke" just means "anything I don't like" at this point.
