I'm afraid I think the C5 misunderstood the market for transportation devices completely. It wouldn't sell today, either, because people look ridiculous in one, and because it fails to offer people the comfort they expect from a car. One of the main drivers of automobilism, for instance, is the ability to travel together and have conversations and social interaction, which the C5 didn't offer. THE main driver of automobilism is the nimbus of it being a universal tool fit for use in all transport scenarios (which it obviously isn't, just as computers should be used for far fewer applications, but the nimbus exists).
The C5 actually has quite a few similarities to (still very niche) recumbent velomobiles. I don't think the lack of mass attractiveness of this concept will change in a hurry. Maybe when half the world has been destroyed by catastrophic flooding.

He's clearly very damaged emotionally. Not that that excuses anything. There's also, obviously, generally more about people than meets the eye/superficial appreciation.
The main category is a lack of conceptual understanding, though. Some 'education' actively tries to drive conceptual understanding out of people.

The level of overt (legalised) corruption is just breathtaking. If you're happy Jenrick is gone, you'll probably have to think again (he'll be back, though). I can't imagine that it's not just going to get worse with Evog.

All anyone needs to know about e-scooters is that they'll lead to a terrible drop in physical activity (by far the main problem), will mainly replace walking and cycling trips, will act as a complement to other forms of motorisation, and quite apart from the decrease in activity will lead to many more crashes. I've said this in much longer form in the OPs, but the upshot is that their use should not be permitted. It's just another bad decision by the current 'government', probably in exchange for party political donations and industry lobbying.
