McLaren P1 Charging System

Yesterday I was looking at some of the car dealerships in Newport Beach including the McLaren dealership on PCH. The dealership had a used P1 in the window with less then 200 miles on it. The car was about $1.1 million new from McLaren but with this one being used the priced was $2,000,000 (most likely bought for investment)! Now I think this is a great car, it has an amazing look and the rear end is among the best of all the hyper cars but not that cool for that kind of money. Now what really bothered me was the way the cars hybrid system is charged. It looks like it was an after thought, as you can see in the picture the cable to charge the car is not flush with the the hatch that it plugs into. Then you have to put a piece of cloth around the cable to it does not scratch the paint. I understand this being the case if this was one of the very first hybrid cars but not with one today and especially not with a $2,000,000 price tag on a hyper car.
