I think all cars should have a ‘LUNCH’ button. It can be sponsored by Uber Eats and whenever you press it, it automatically orders a burger to your current GPS co-ordinates.

Americans when describing their ideal car interior: "Imagine a burger ordering button".

It sounds like it should be in that car Homer Simpson designed, although I guess it would order doughnuts in this case

Are we looking at the same interior? It is ugly as sin. Looks like a mockup render that is going to need ten more iterations to look good.

You can certainly see the modern Apple influence: 4 different instrument panels, 7 different corner radii. The control panel is the odd one out at the moment, but perhaps in the next version they'll "upgrade" it to a lop-sided rhomircle instead. Maybe even find a way to make the seatbelt foul the accelerator pedal when in use, in homage to the Magic Mouse.

(moving) buttons for turn signals. ick.

Exactly, everybody will instantly recognize it, like the Cybertruck. While all the other recent Ferrari's are basically a blur, I bet 95% of people could order then roughly by year.

> will instantly recognize it, It looks like a generic Hyundai. If not for the badge I'd have assumed it was some Chinese mid tier EV.

The worst thing about those kinds of EVs is the "generic alien orchestra" sounds they make in the parking lot.

It is sort of bland-nonoffensive like motel 6 artwork.

The interior design by Jony Ive is outstanding. The perfect mix of tactile controls and mechanical needles with the screens feels revolutionary. I expect others will follow replicating some of the ideas.

the (moving) turn signal buttons suck. and why paddles? I thought EVs didn't need gears?

EDIT: "paddles on the steering wheel control regenerative braking and torque delivery."

There's a reason why the top Swiss brands don't manufacture quartz watches. From some point on, people buy stories, experiences, luxury. Gadgets don't provide the same experience.

Except for Breitling, Omega, Tag Heuer, ...

Top brands like Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin.

I didn't know Jony Ive was involved. That may explain why it looks so disappointing. Jony Ive is a brilliant example of the role selection plays in evolutionary processes. It is the sorting method that punishes bad ideas with death and allows good ideas to survive. After Jobs passed away the selection mechanism that only let Ive's good ideas pop through disappeared. It is popular to accuse Jobs of credit hoarding, bu…

I think Ive deserves some respect. His portfolio makes it clear what type of car he will design, same with Newson. It’s Ferrari’s leadership that has to be held accountable for the decision, my guess is they wanted to break into a brand new demographic. Many say it should have been a sub-brand, for some reason they didn’t use that option. I don’t lien the car’s look, but also don’t hate it. Let’s see it on the road, get some review on the comfort etc. I honestly think it will be all fine, once the current wave of criticism blows over.

Well, he showed zero respect for the Ferrari design legacy. And let’s be very clear: this is a mediocre design regardless of brand.

Just because he had a successful collaboration two decades ago doesn’t mean we have to pretend everything he touches is gold.
