During an event in Barcelona, ​​Luca de Meo criticizes the style of Tesla cars, comparing them to household appliances, and argues that electric vehicles can have identity and emotion.

O CEO of Renault, Luca de Meo, made direct criticisms of Tesla during the presentation of his new book in Barcelona. For him, the American brand's cars have become “like a refrigerator“, without personality.

During the launch of the Spanish edition of Sentimental automobile dictionary, De Meo stated that Tesla vehicles lack emotion. “Tesla is like a refrigerator and all cars will end up like that if they are built the same way."He said.

Despite the criticism, the executive defended that electric cars can be engaging. “If the car learns every day, reads what's around it, sees what's on your phone and organizes your life, you create a very animal, human relationship with the product.”, He stated.
