Tesla roadster. “Drives upside down, flies, does flips, 0-60 in 0.81s”
Tesla roadster. "Hold my key, i might actually get delivered in 2-5 years after waiting for 10"
I would fire the marketing team.
Thing is Ive didn't design exterior tho, but getting all the flak for it. Meanwhile interior of Luce is first Ferrari that doesn't look like a joke.
But I'd much rather have a premium car from a manufacturer with premium car standards. Have you seen the panel gaps on Teslas? They're like fancy Ladas!
Some designers don't get it. Too much ego. Those are the one's who would have failed to finish a cathedral over several generations within the same style (re-read chapter 4 of "The Mythical Man-Month" to understand).
It's a distraction. And a pure driver's car avoids any distraction.
Lightly related, here’s the design patent for the original Targa design:

Zero info about the engine on the page - or is it electric? The page doesn't really say.
For a sports car, that sort of info is kinda important?
From the opposite side Tesla’s presentation was way “yee-ahh” and tacky from the perspective of other publics
1. Governments pulling back on EV transition leading to car companies pulling back from EVs as well. For example, some companies that had previously said "we've designed out last gas engine" now are designing new ones.
2. Turns out gas + EV can be even better than pure electric for a sports car (so I gather)
3. People who drives cars like this DGAF about emissions
Poor timing.
Please add spaces after periods. The presentation is terrible.
1000HP of EV power, definitely not a V8
An SSD is faster, but a hard drive ticking away is a language its own, and an amorphous white-by-default Tesla Plaid may be one of the fastest cars on any road, but odds are the only feeling it evokes is "This is faster than any reasonable person needs, and likely more than is safe for any standard American motorist to be able to just go out and buy"
