The interior isn't offensive, but don't the dashboard air vents appear to kind of bolted on? Like, maybe they are super functional? But they look like an afterthought aesthetically.

#172Earlier quoted context omitted.
I don't love it either, but that's the whole point I think. Try to pull off an icon, rather than make existing designs works. Cybertruck did it, same with Jaguar. Ultimately the probably should've gone with SUV tho - it's what people buy and looking at interior it what should've been - mass produced, luxury, performance car for everyone. p.s. Car ethusiasts suck and nobody should listen to them. All they want is v8 m…
> same with Jaguar The Jaguar redesign / rebrand has been a complete and utter disaster! A 97% drop in European sales. That’s not a misprint - 97%!! No one would call the cybertruck a success either. This design is a massive mistake for Ferrari. Looks at Porsche’s first electric, the Taycan. I can tell it’s a Porsche as soon as I see it. Look at Lamborghini- looks like a Lambo. Look at this car - looks like a Volkswa…

Car hasn't even been released.
You can't argue Cybertruck isn't an icon. IIRC it's in top 10 for notoriously critical Doug Demuro.

#173It is 2026 cars don't need start buttons, physical keys, or giant round air vents
Agree on first two, but vents on my Tesla kinda blow. Too weak where it needs to work (my face) and too strong where it shouldn't (stray wind on my knees).
Re: Ferrari Luce
#174Ive is an overrated plonker and my first reaction is to wonder if all the serviceable components are glued in place. Do you know why no one has ever put rotating switches on a steering wheel face before? Because it requires two fingers to operate the switches and thus taking your entire hand off the wheel. Those knobs and switches might as well be in the center console because it takes a similar amount of effort and…

#176I once asked HN why EVs look funky and many people responded with “oohh no they don’t what are you talking about”. Tell me now if this looks weird or not.

#177> Sound waves are captured from electro-mechanical vibration in the axles that are equalised, amplified and delivered alongside visual feedback to inform the driver In other words, they made an EV do wroom-wroom?
Isn’t this quite literally how a microphone works?
I love Ferraris trying to sound like Yutong buses.
Re: Ferrari Luce
#178I want a fully open source car. That's luxury!
Re: Ferrari Luce
#179What is the target demographic? The specs seem... nice. Nothing particularly special compared to the likes of Lucid, etc. The design though, it seems very... uninspired? It has hints of throwback in the design, but imo it does not have the look of luxury or sports car.
The target demographic seems to be people wanting to buy a future Ferrari.
This. If you want to get on the list to buy the new supercars, you're going to have to start here. And you better add some expensive options.

Yes, but it still seems like a cool choice worth talking about. They could have made a totally fake engine noise, instead they mic’d up the axles.
