Why is every EV these days an amorphous blob? Even Ferraris are being homogenised. Can't believe Ive designed this. Interior is okay, but not special; the exterior though... It looks like any other of the thousands of blob EVs in the market. It's actually so bad

This is the one place where I can give Elon real credit. He made EVs popular partially by making them not look like shit.

They basically copy/pasted Ian Callum design language.

Boring as f. imho as Tesla Never had their proper design language, the model S being a 4 doors copy of an Aston Martin DB7 and the other models very Ford inspired.

well … batteries take up a lot of volume within the chassis and they need ultra low drag to compete on range. all the EV designs converge to blob

Well, TIL! Thanks for the info I actually didn't know this

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I believe he only designed the interior

His firm did the entire car. Inside and outside.

It’s another 24 carat gold Apple Watch. Makes sense in the design studio, if you have some insane blinkers on when it comes to how people associate with and interact with products in the real world.

Ferrari done lost their mind! If you told me this was a Kia I would have said it was ugly for a Kia.

I am not sure why you would be surprised. Ferrari have looked like korean cars for more than 2 decades already. Just expensive, fast and impractical korean cars.

Well actually the whole car industry has converged to these design languages.

I'm wondering, isn't the system of the 2 doors opening facing each other dangerous?

Like I mean, isn't there a risk of the driver slapping or pinching a passenger that is boarding while shutting his door without taking enough care?

Horrible. I don't care if it was designed by Armani in his deathbed or Jony Ive himself. It's just horrible. The flat sides, not even reminiscence of the testarossa glorious days. Worse than the tesla truck and that's in the lowest levels of design. Be careful not to take the Jaguar road for there is no coming back.

Buttons for turn signals. Yuck. God, Jony Ive is such an insufferable person.

Haven't Ferrari used buttons for turn signals for a while?

Someone inside Ferrari had the terrible idea of greenlighting this and even more terrible lack of courage to not cancel this mistake because it was the baby turd of Jony Ive and Marc Newson. Fortunately everyone will laugh and cringe, the usual car "journalists" will bite their tongues because they don't want to lose access, time will pass and it will be forgotten because Ferrari can afford to make these mistakes ( f…

People have said the same of the first Porsche Cayenne, yet the Porsche SUVs have been outselling their sports cars for years.

$600K Ferrari Luce vs. $35K Nissan Leaf: Spot the difference... https://imgur.com/a/fsvO5G8

I wouldn't say it is pretty, but to me it looks nicer on this picture than on the Ferrari website.

It is a very generic shape for sure!
