10/10 would have beckoned Barbie to go celebrating
Also, the tow truck for this thing is Lucifer.
And why is the interior from an e500?
I think it’s kinda genius. High end is all about image. Their sport cars show racing heritage. With EVs they have the opportunity to branch out into something different, and not necessarily have to follow any guidelines. Same happened with their SUVs.
The most important thing is that it has to be recognizable. It won’t work if the Uber rich can’t tell a Ferrari EV from a Peugeot. And that I think is something they must work on, because it looks too generic.
The new model departs from the look of typical
This is why most new EVs fail - they look like EVs rather than just a car.
BYD EVs look just like normal cars.
Part of that is the shape of a car is dictated partly by the power train, and an EV has a lot more flexibility in that regard.
But partly it’s because they want to look different, which usually means worse. And you’re right about BYD, they do look sharp.
I like the look of byd, but why do they keep retracting the fucking door handles?
This is apple removing the aux jack all over again… Nobody wants this.
I would assume that is to maintain the strong horse carriage loud brrrm engine appeal to previous customers.
Most European EV’s look like real cars too.
Some are even the same car available as ICE or EV
…which usually makes them worse because they need to design them for both cases.
Yeah well if anyone’s throwing away one of these worse EVs, just tell me and I’ll get it off their hands
…if it has enough range to get you home.
there’s a long weekend coming up
not for me :(
400 km or so is typical for shared platform BEVs, even more for newer models
The main issue with the older ones is slower charging but that’s not because of the platform, it’s because of when they were designed.
the new citroen i was eyeing gets like 260, and that’s probably ideal conditions.
One account on X said: “Ferrari just killed their brand just like Jaguar did. This is straight to the junkyard trash.”
“What is going on with European Luxury car manufacturers? First Jaguar and now Ferrari”, another account posted.
But not all commentators were felt negatively about the new car, with one post saying: “Absolute masterclass in design. Ferrari just unveiled the breathtaking LUCE concept, and it is a total game changer.”
Honestly, BBC, if you’re going to aggregate statistics about tweets on Twitter, use it as some kind of crude poll, maybe you could get something useful that way.
But reporting on anecdotes about anonymous tweets for opinion seems of almost zero value from a news standpoint. If a tweet mentioned a fact that you could validate, say, that might have some value.
But what you’re doing here is on-par with saying “someone on Twitter said that they liked chocolate ice cream, and someone else said that they didn’t like chocolate ice cream”. That just doesn’t really seem newsworthy. I would say that it’d be surprising if you couldn’t find posts of both sorts for virtually any topic.
I’m 99% sure it’s just rage bait. They get to act like it’s just reporting on what others said (despite them being the ones choosing which to quote), and they also get to include stuff that someone, no matter who they are, will get annoyed with. It’s the worst kind of “reporting” as they add nothing of value, only create negative engagement, and they aren’t even willing to own what they publish.
User drolex started to read tal’s comment on lemmy and responded with
lmao tl;dr
which shows that the cerebral capacities of users on the platform is extremely diverse
Its not hard to see what they’re doing…
First they add negative comments, then follow up with a positive post to seem like they’re being Impartial!
It’d be interesting to see how often the negative comments are put before the positive comments though because i’d guess it’s a lot higher than the reverse!
When writing an argument (and your biased) you start with the opinion you don’t want to support and end with the opinion you do want to support, because people usually remember the last part of an argument better than the first part. That is at least when assuming people ACTUALLY read (and the classical rhetoric theory)… but so many people have fucked attention spans, so I’m not sure if this is still accurate.
In speeches, yes. But in articles, where people often quit halfway in, putting important points in paragraph 14 instead of the headline is called “burying the lede”.
Twitter is also a Nazi bar full of peoole that take anything slightly less harmful for humanity as a personal attack.
Looks boring and generic, you are Ferrari ffs… Give me fins, lasers, cool interiors, fucking something to make it stand out. Who wants this?
Jaguar did this too, making boring EVs with none of the signature styling that the brand is famous for, and then proceeded to tank.
They know what we want, but they deny us at every turn.
Not that this matters in the age where cybertrucks are allowed to exist, but that thing will slice a pedestrian clean in half
“Slice in half by the Batmobile” is a way better obituary than “CyberStruck”.
I find nearly all Ferrari models ugly AF so I’m happy we’re not getting another tiny dick monstrosity but instead just another generic ugly EV.
Optimization have sucked away wiggle room everywhere.
The outside looks interesting given the small wiggle room EV have on design. We will not have dramatically unique car designs till battery tech gets 10x energy dense and cars can afford not being shaped like an egg shell
The inside is all Ferrari/Ive choice. There are some cool touches like the display unit. But majority is constricted by supply chain optimization. There’s only so much you can deviate before things start costing an arm/leg at the scale Ferrari sells cars. Ferrari can afford custom manufacturing with some manual work but not hand manufacturing everything.
Ferrari unveils first fully electric car
Not true. Other brands have had fully electric cars way before Ferrari.
/jk I know what it means, I just read it like this the first time and made me giggle.
Jony Ive has done the impossible, he made a Ferrari that looks bland. Way to go!
I mean I don’t know how this wasn’t expected given that the vast majority of products he designed at Apple were rectangles with a glass front and metal/glass back.
That’s a nice looking Peugeot.
Was thinking Honda but I agree that it fails to fit the design lineage of Ferrari.
That’s because it wasn’t designed by ferrari but by the former chief designer of Apple.
I’m with ya on the Honda vibes. Really disappointed by the design.
I think they were referring to designs like the Honda e 😅
Doesn’t look bad to me. The color layout reminds me of Star Trek uniforms.
Indeed, I am now seeing it as well, now that you have mentioned it. xD
Ooh. That actually makes it look pretty good.
Yawn, super cars are so 2010
Hideous on the outside but that interior is slick ngl.
This car is not very beautiful, but it looks like interesting for me. Like a car from the future e.g. “ghost in the shell” etc.
The normal Ferrari design is… boring (every sports car has the same look). This is new and fresh design. Everybody speaks/love/hate it and I think that is a good promotion for Ferrari.
And the most of car designs are created for fuels engines, but this used e-engines… Smaller and lighter. They doesn’t need the old forme anymore and the designer have so new interesting options.
I think that could borne a new design era. In- and outside.
This is their biggest car ever, longer even than their crossover SUV. Takes a bit of space to fit in 120 kWh of battery capacity and five seats without being a tall car. Batteries are heavy too, so it’s actually heavier than said crossover too. Despite the fact that that thing has a huge V12 engine. Believe that also makes it the heaviest car they’ve ever made, at least in modern times.
The design conceals it well though.
More expensive electronic waste on wheels.
This “opinion” presumably being based upon your personal experience with being an expensive waste on wheels…
