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.

I had the same visceral reaction lol, so ugly.

The front overhang thing looks really weird.

It doesn't matter if it's ugly, it doesn't matter that the cyber truck is ugly, it doesn't matter if either are good cars. I spotted probably the only cybertruck in Taiwan the other day. It was waiting to turn on a busy road, and people were jogging over to take a picture of it. "Woah cool! Awesome! Handsome!" Lots of stuff like that being said. People share ai slop cat pictures on Facebook. There's HN commenters, th…

Quite a lot of the rest of the world follow cars.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That was the deal with the Aston Martin Cygnus as well. It wasn't meant for enthusiasts. It was generally sold to wives who bought them alone - much to the fury of husbands later that day. Some Aston Martin salesman once mentioned this in an interview, mentioning that otherwise there was no way to move that vehicle.

Wasn't the Cygnus just an emissions compliance vehicle?

They still had to sell it.

>THE FERRARI LUCE APP A new way to connect your car So they have an app specifically for this car and not a general app for all Ferraris? What are the chances it is a good, usable app? What are the chances it's loaded with trackers?

Look at their app.

It looks like trash.

I don’t understand how why they showed that along with an entire car.

Who the hell keeps deciding that apps for vehicles need a top down status view of the vehicle that dominates 75% of the screen for no reason at all!?

Did they even ask their customer base before approving the design? I don't care about Ferrari, but people who do care about Ferrari will not like this.

Influencer with access is always going to say the thing that will keep them that access. We moved away from writers and magazines, right back to the same stupid shit.

It’s a silly car; and their UI on the screen and app are terrible.

love the interior, not sure how i feel about that front end however. "The lowest drag coefficient in Ferrari history" is not what i would have guessed just seeing the picture alone, so props to them on making this possible!

Kinda telling that the video doesn't show the front up to the very last moment. I'm pretty sure they realize perfectly well how ugly it is.

>Kinda telling that the video doesn't show the front up to the very last moment.

I actually chuckled when I saw the whole vehicle.

What is gobsmacking is the price. I know it’s Ferrari , but one of the interesting things about EVs is that there’s minimal technological differentiation marketed to customers after a certain point. As in: a buyer wouldn’t know or care about a Ferrari battery pack vs. a Tesla or BYD battery pack. Whether you’ve got 300 or 1000 horsepower, the brand of the motor la delivering it is mostly irrelevant. The suspension ma…

The cabin definitely is something that costs 5x any other car’s interior.

I think they will eventually get to the point of technological differentiation but they've got to start somewhere: they must first have an electric car on the market before they can start experimenting with it to improve the performance 1.5x, 2x, 10x. At some point, EVs are going to pull ahead of ICE cars not just incrementally, but categorically. Instead of 0-60 in 3 seconds, it'll be 0-60 in under a second: the lim…

It isn’t physically possible for a four tire AWD car to exceed 0-60 in about 1.5 seconds.
