I hate 20 inch, floating, glued to the dash tablets with such a passion. It cannot be such a huge monetary difference to have physical switches for the AC compared to this attention grabbing accident causing contraption that was never meant to be put in a human commandeered vehicle.

Yes, preach it! But … I think in fact it does make a huge difference economically. I don’t know what the bill of materials is, but imagine the difference between wiring into place (a) a touch screen, or (b) 40 physical controls.

I believe another motivation for manufacturers is that they can turn the car’s UI into a software problem, which from a human-centered design perspective means that they can throw it in the trash and never spend a dime on it.

We're talking about a 400k dollars car, maybe they could find a way to add this expense into the design.

I also hate crappy car tablets. For context, though, according to the Ferrari CEO, they are 50% cheaper [0]. I'm not convinced that should matter on a premium badge car (or any car, given safety concerns), but that's for Ferrari's customers to decide.

Maybe I just have a bad taste for cars, but this looks awful. Uninspiring. Looks like a Tesla with a Ferrari logo.

Edit: I do love the analog buttons in the interior though. I despise those big screens with all the controls, and no tactile feedback.

> Looks like a Tesla with a Ferrari logo.

Just saw it and wow, that's an accurate description. Gone is everything that makes a Ferrari a Ferrari

My kid, way into cars, says it looks like a cheap Camaro from the future.

What is the target demographic? The specs seem... nice. Nothing particularly special compared to the likes of Lucid, etc.

The design though, it seems very... uninspired? It has hints of throwback in the design, but imo it does not have the look of luxury or sports car.

$600k and they still won't give you physical climate controls.

Parsimonious product design with IMHO out of date conception of what's "cool". I think Ive is pretty washed out at this point.

I’m a big fan of the interior & Ive design (and am not always a fan if his). The exterior is pretty cool from the front and back … but from the side and at angles it just doesn’t register as Ferrari at ALL. Seems to scream for a longer wheelbase but that’s not the whole issue. It just looks very mid-market from those angles.

The front looks like a vacuum cleaner

If the battery is under the passenger compartment, you're pretty much stuck with a sedan-derived coupe look. The performance better be super ultra special, otherwise Ferrari had no need to make a car that looks like that.

Love the interior. Hate the exterior.

It's lovely and I bet they sell every one they build.

I reall don't know if I like this or not.

Why couldn't they have made it look like a normal Ferrari.

It's just a powertrain change why mess up all the styling.

LMAO, this thing is so ugly. It looks like a generic Chinese EV. Interior looks good, but the exterior is just a boat. 5.05m long, 2m wide, 5000lbs heavy.

It is almost like Ferrari is trying to punk its customers.
