The problem is not, as demented petrol heads want you to believe, that Ferrari made an EV.

The problem is that Ferrari got a retired phone designer to design an EV and it ignored Ferrari's history and is Effing UGLY.

Many, many people were excited by the prospect of Ferrari legitimizing EVs for a certain audience.

Ferrari, and Ives, failed us all.

Designers and architects need to learn that THIS PRODUCT IS NOT ABOUT YOU.

I hope that Ferrari try again. And that Ives apologizes.

I think so, too. If I'm not mistaken, Tesla first established itself because it made the Roadster, not a sedan. So I don't think there is necessarily a contradiction between fans of sporty cars and EVs, especially because electric cars typically have an edge on ICEs in terms of torque, low- to mid-speed performance, traction control...

The problem with the LUCE is really that it's so hideous. But at the same time I'm thinking, maybe it's the right design for the next generation of buyers? Gen-Z Ferraris probably need to be radically different. (But that doesn't mean radically ugly, of course.)

My impression (based on the social media comments I've seen) is that GenZ'ers dislike the (Il?) Luce as much as everyone else and the only guys who like it are older men trying to be edgy.
