EV Charging Like a Magic Mouse: Flipped Upside Down in the Garage

Description

A photorealistic (likely AI-generated or composited) image of a white electric car flipped completely upside down on a suburban garage floor, wheels in the air, with a white charging cable plugged into a port on its exposed flat underbody and running to a wall outlet. The garage door is open, revealing a tidy neighborhood street, trees, and another house; garden tools hang on the left wall next to a white cabinet. The image parodies Apple's Magic Mouse, infamous for its bottom-mounted Lightning port that renders it unusable while charging - scaled up to an entire vehicle, it skewers design decisions where aesthetic purity defeats basic usability

The port passed every aesthetic review and failed its first integration test with gravity.
