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.

Just pointing out that, technically, if you're gonna drive slow, the Ferrari is the appropriate choice over the Tesla.

Lots of comments saying it looks ugly. I don't agree. But the $650,000 price tag is not pretty - that I can agree on. I know people will pay that.

It's far from ugly, it's just very standard EV. When you buy a Ferrari though you want it to stand it, you don't want it looking like a bog standard Tesla.

I didn’t realize it was an Ive creation. The asthetics make more sense now. It just doesn’t really make sense as a Ferrari. Ferrari makes super cars and this is kind a a run of the mill ev under the hood. The interior is very nice. The rest of Ferrari can hopefully borrow from this.

It looks like a BMW concept car honestly, like something I'd see at an auto show. Nothing reminds me of Ferrari.

At least they had the decency not to paint it red.

It sounds like the interior is the Ive part. It’s the outside I don’t like. I don’t hate it… just looks like it could be a Kia EV. If you’re goofy enough to buy a Ferrari I expect you want people to really have to see that you’re driving a Ferrari.

The outside looks like one of the Mustangs from the 90s with the round brake lights. Meh

Absolutely.

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.

Ferrari have had indicator buttons in all their cars since about 2010

The car front looks ugly to me but, I do remember getting used to car designs that I previously found ugly. It looks weird/ugly because electric cars no longer need to be longer and have enough space for massive sport engines. Maybe we'll get used to it over time, still I would prefer the front of a Ferrari 458 The interiors look really nice, I'm a fan of the dashboard elements, blending touch with actual physical bu…

This happened to me, as well. Ironically, it was a Ferrari. The 1986 Ferrari Testarossa felt to my teen self to be a cheap Countach. But it grew on me.

That is one horrific looking thing.

And the back kinda reminds some of the past. But it also looks like smaller car inside bigger car... What is going on?

The instrument cluser looks awesome, especially the G force instrument! https://ferrari-cdn.thron.com/delivery/public/image/ferrari/...

The G-force meter is just to put "something" there because it looks better than having only two gauges. Much like how high-end watches have three mini dials showing mostly useless things, just for the way it looks.

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

Not sure. I've been in a few Ferraris and they all had regular stalks. It's possible that those buttons are not Jony Ive's doing, but I still find him insufferably pompous.

What's the point of this refutation, a quick Internet search would've shown you that there are Ferraris with buttons to activate the blinkers...
