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

I believe Ive was tasked with designing the interior only.

He (his firm) did both the interior and exterior.

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.

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

Only the color is similar. Nothing else is otherwise you’ll start putting many cars in the same basket

Considering Ive is responsible for my least favorite era of Apple, I can believe it. They kept making Macs as insanely anorexic as possible at the cost of upgradable / swappable RAM and storage space, plus that failure keyboard (what was it the butterfly nonsense?) that was the absolute worst season in Apple history, I held off ever buying another Mac as a result till last year.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sure, but this isn't a Tesla... If you're going to drive this slowly you might as well buy a Tesla

Tesla model S accelerates faster and has a higher top speed, and also more range on a smaller battery.... For a absolutely tiny fraction of the price! It also looks better than this Nissan leaf knock-off! I'm not the target market, this thing costs more than my house! But I do think the specs are... Disappointing...

Tesla Model S is discontinued.

Whatever its merits, there wasn’t a market for it.

I'm not a car guy so please forgive me if this is a dumb question but with electrics do high performance cars even matter any more? Like Tesla had its ludicrous mode years ago, I suppose you'd need decent suspension but if they can churn out that then what do places like Ferrari offer now? apart from the brand I suppose.

they matter even more now. acceleration was the easiest way to make a sports car. now that it's so freely available, they have to put even more effort in the handling department. as another commenter stated, it's all about driving dynamics. How it handles the turns, if it's tail happy, how stiff the suspension is and many other things that affect how a car feels on the road

For comparison, the recent Ferrari Roma: https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/auto/ferrari-roma

It’s a more beautiful car from the outside for sure, but whatever is that abomination of a glossy user interface nightmare? Looks like straight from the early 2000‘s

Don't worry. This is being laughed at in the factories in maranello. But Ferrari has an obligation to the populistic world too, trying to wheel in customers for an EV end ending up selling them a real car with a V8-12 engine. Looks terrible. But they know it.

It looks exactly like a black economy compact wearing a differently coloured body kit. There’s a ton of lovely design moments and thoughtful touches, but it never resolves into a cohesive design aesthetic.

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