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

sonofhans•59m ago
My kid, way into cars, says it looks like a cheap Camaro from the future.

Teslas look better than this. It looks like a Prius with a Ferrari logo.

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.

addandsubtract•31m ago
The target demographic seems to be people wanting to buy a future Ferrari.

$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Parsimonious product design with IMHO out of date conception of what's "cool".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 up 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.
coolgoose•53m ago
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.
magiclaw•51m ago
Love the interior. Hate the exterior.
dtagames•51m ago
It's lovely and I bet they sell every one they build.
m0nit0r•47m ago
I reall don't know if I like this or not.
manyatoms•45m ago
Why couldn't they have made it look like a normal Ferrari.

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

smackeyacky•35m ago
It’s a five seat nearly SUV despite Ferrari claiming it isn’t. It makes fake noises in sports mode like the other EVs, it seems to have only two features that come from Ferrari and that’s the quad rear lights and the yellow badge.

I’m not the target market for this and never will be but nobody is going to make a poster of that for a teenagers bedroom. Yuck.

ardit33•41m ago
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. Looks like a mix of the Jag Epace and the Mustang EV/Mache

Can't believe they are asking 600k for this thing.

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

Ps. Everyone is hating it on FerrariChat

The gas engine Farraris are a pinnacle of design for an engine, gas tank, drive train, and human occupant.

It would have been trivial for Ferrari to just make their classic style but now, electric! And it would have been full of compromise.

Ferrari has made, in their opinion, the best design for the constraints and challenges of an Electric Vehicle. 4 motors, battery, human.

Good for them for putting real effort into it. And not just making a cash grab.

throwaway85825•4m ago
The 'best' is the best given the constraints. Constraints for EV are different so the best should be different, not the same but EV.
frogperson•30m ago
Looks luke a cheap electric knockoff in some low budget racing game. It does not look like a ferrari at all.
pryelluw•29m ago
Looks like a melted down Pontiac Aztec. Though, I don’t see Walter White forking over money for it.
throwaway85825•5m ago
Ugly as sin.
