    Behold the Apple Car. With unapologetically plastic parts. I thought Ive only designed the dash, which he did a good job on btw.

      Which parts do you mean by plastic? The interior is mainly leather, glass and aluminium. The body is supposed to be mainly aluminium.

        It’s a joke. Because Jony Ive is involved. He described the material of iPhone 5c during the launch as “Beautifully, unapologetically plastic”

    I’m so glad that products in this price range are such bad products. I’d be so fucking bummed if a Tesla cost 500K.

    I love that they’re trying new stuff but it’s weird thinking about the Daytona SP3 and that being from the same company. It reminds me of those slippers they make Japanese kids wear in school.

    What the actual fuck is this

    I love electric cars, prefer them over gasoline, but a Ferrari should look like a Ferrari

    The chassis/vision design concept artist should be moved to a different division…

    This design is getting slandered, damn. Personally I think it looks absolutely sick, but for a brand like Ferrari I’m not sure it’s a good move. It has that electric car look, which makes it seem less exclusive. I’d totally want one if I needed a car and it was actually affordable, but given the price it probably should’ve looked more exclusive.

      Put the most crucial part inside the part that receives the most stress and shocks while driving…

      What could possibly go wrong?

      It looks like every other Ferrari I’m not really sure what’s not to like about it. Obviously it should be yellow though, what’s with this blue colour scheme?

    The new model departs from the look of typical

    This is why most new EVs fail - they look like EVs rather than just a car.

    BYD EVs look just like normal cars.

          …which usually makes them worse because they need to design them for both cases.

                400 km or so is typical for shared platform BEVs, even more for newer models

                The main issue with the older ones is slower charging but that’s not because of the platform, it’s because of when they were designed.

                  the new citroen i was eyeing gets like 260, and that’s probably ideal conditions.

      Part of that is the shape of a car is dictated partly by the power train, and an EV has a lot more flexibility in that regard.

      But partly it’s because they want to look different, which usually means worse. And you’re right about BYD, they do look sharp.

    Looks boring and generic, you are Ferrari ffs… Give me fins, lasers, cool interiors, fucking something to make it stand out. Who wants this?

    Jaguar did this too, making boring EVs with none of the signature styling that the brand is famous for, and then proceeded to tank.

      I find nearly all Ferrari models ugly AF so I’m happy we’re not getting another tiny dick monstrosity but instead just another generic ugly EV.

      Optimization have sucked away wiggle room everywhere.

      The outside looks interesting given the small wiggle room EV have on design. We will not have dramatically unique car designs till battery tech gets 10x energy dense and cars can afford not being shaped like an egg shell

      The inside is all Ferrari/Ive choice. There are some cool touches like the display unit. But majority is constricted by supply chain optimization. There’s only so much you can deviate before things start costing an arm/leg at the scale Ferrari sells cars. Ferrari can afford custom manufacturing with some manual work but not hand manufacturing everything.
