@Linahuaa @JASONMI10776370 Well, I think Escalade will outrun this plastic toy

@JASONMI10776370 Your Escalade is literally worse at everything. Only thing you can say about your Escalade is that you paid twice the price for a Black rapper status symbol.

Rich Chinese all have this car. Either 7 seat version for driver + nanny + children + grandparents. Or 4 seat version as mobile lounge to host business deals and mistresses. It's not even expensive - $60K for the 7-seat version. Chinese have figured out that space and practicality are the real luxury. Why pay 3x the price for the driver experience when every schmuck in the Chinese upper middle class has a personal driver??

@pmitu It's generally terrifying if anyone is good at teenage sex. There's not a single good reason for that :)

Vibe coding is like teenage sex: everyone talks about it, but very few are actually good at it

@michaelsepsick @mchamarthi Well it is an American designed car 🚗

@mchamarthi It’s not a Ferrari. As Niki Lauda said, “it’s shit”. To me, it looks like an American designed car, not Ferrari

🚨 As an Auto Executive Here is My Perspective on Ferrari's New EV Bottom line.... They built an extraordinary EV. The market’s reaction suggests that may not be enough. Ferrari unveiled the Luce yesterday: • 1,050 horsepower • Jony Ive co-designed interior • nearly $650,000 starting price • Ferrari’s first fully electric vehicle Today, Ferrari stock fell roughly 7%. As someone who has spent 25+ years inside automotive leadership, I think this reaction says something important: This is not about whether Ferrari built a technically impressive car. They did. This is about whether Ferrari fully understands what its customer is actually buying. Ferrari customers are not primarily purchasing transportation. They are purchasing: identity, emotion, heritage, scarcity, mechanical theater, and cultural symbolism. That is what makes luxury automotive branding so fragile during technological disruption. The challenge with EVs; especially at the ultra-luxury level is not performance. Electric drivetrains already deliver extraordinary performance. The challenge is preserving mythology. And that is much harder. Ferrari appears to understand this intellectually: the engineered sound, the tactile controls, the dramatic specs, the emotional design language. But the market reaction suggests investors are still questioning whether the EV transition aligns with the emotional expectations of Ferrari’s core customer base. That distinction matters. Because in luxury markets, brand identity often carries more pricing power than engineering itself. What do you think?

@3c3p3d Is there a built in child booster on the rear row?

@bunopus 1. Заработать денег в США 2. Переехать из тратить в Европе

В какой системе вы бы предпочли жить: - high risk - high reward. Можно стать супер-богатым, но можно стать супер-бедным. Америка - low risk - low reward. Даже если ты очень много работаешь/учишься/вкладываешь – wage compression срежет тебе верхушку, иногда очень сильно. Но зато ты не упадёшь ниже какого-то минимума. Европа

@rocknroll_photo Выглядит как рай для ущербных

Что меня здесь радует так это то, что все профессии от продавца йогуртов до инженера получают примерно одинаково. Можно становиться РЕАЛЬНО кем хочешь и не ебать себе голову тем, что ты ущербный

@LinkedInLunat1c At least it's not a massage therapist

Am I missing something here?

@ZackKorman If AllBirds could pivot from selling shoes to renting out servers then anything is possible

Can we go back to the era where founders at least pretended to give a shit about the problems they were solving? I miss that.

@ZackKorman What's the company name?

@Scobleizer @StephNass do you think it's a real take on Chinese consumers?

"You aren't getting it," a friend who lives in China told me after I said the new Ferrari is ugly. "This is gonna sell well with China's new rich." But why is a story of changing attitudes amongst car buyers, particularly in China. In a world where everyone around you is driving a new electric car, which is true in many Chinese cities now, showing up with a loud gas car just doesn't fit in anymore. Imagine you are a new rich factory owner in Shanghai. Do you want to drive around in a loud Ferrari, like I dreamed about doing when I was a kid? No. Chinese culture is about fitting in, about caring what everyone else thinks. Worse, in China they are going electric so fast that you can see the writing on the wall for gas. Soon gas stations will disappear altogether in major cities. And cars that pollute and put fumes into the air are already being seen as artifacts of an age that needs to die quickly, particularly in cities with 40 million people. Ferrari's sales are way down in China. New car brands there like @Xiaomi, @XPENG_Global, @NIOGlobal, @BYDCompany, and @HongqiGlobal are taking share with vehicles that have much more innovation than even this new Ferrari has. What are my credentials to talk about Ferrari? Well, I've studied automotive innovation my whole life. Audi taught me to race. I had the first ride in the Fiat 500, the BMW i3, the Tesla Roadster, the first Mercedes AI car, and a few others. Have hung out with many billionaires who have Ferraris, went on a famous car rally with such last year to study buyers of super cars, and car collectors, among other things. And I did consumer research about attitudes toward new innovations, like autonomy, around the world. But it goes deeper than just China, which buys more cars that USA and Europe combined. Ferrari is run by people who love to drive and love to drive gas cars with loud, big, engines. In USA that makes sense. My friend Scott Jordan, who owns a clothing company in Sun Valley, Idaho, has one, and within a few minutes from his home he can be on some of the best driving roads in the world. We argue about cars all the time, and he probably never will buy a Tesla. Loves the sound the Ferrari makes. And the design of the hand stitched leather dash. He hates this new Ferrari. Could never see himself in one. But his counterpart in China? Will never get onto a pretty road. When I was last in Shanghai I drove for hours and never stopped seeing high rise buildings with stop and go traffic. Americans can't grok that. They don't want a dirty, gas, car, that makes a lot of noise in China. All traditional luxury brands (another way for saying $500,000 or more for a car) are seeing sales declines for this reason. They also get on race tracks far less frequently than we can here in America. Which is where you can really enjoy a Ferrari. In fact, the luxury brands are more of a club than buying a car. I once hung out with the Bugatti owners from around the world (one of the benefits of living within walking distance of the Half Moon Bay Ritz Carlton). They told me that it is a club and that Bugatti flies their cars around the world for a variety of driving experiences. Makes sense, the last thing a billionaire wants to hear while on vacation is a pitch for a new startup, or someone begging for money (same thing, really). So they have a club experience that keeps them separated from those kinds. The Chinese buyer cares more about innovation than those of us in USA do. You see this in their vehicles, which have big huge screens covering the dash, and seats that rub their backs, and even suspensions that "hop" over potholes, not to mention autonomy that drives them everywhere in stop and go traffic. It's one reason why China's government has kept Tesla from really turning on its autonomy, which is slightly ahead of the Chinese brands. As a Tesla investor I am watching that closely. Speaking of Tesla, its new Roadster that we should see "within months" according to @elonmusk and his main designer @woodhaus2, should capture the world's attention, and especially the new rich in China. But will it be allowed into China in a world where USA doesn't allow Chinese cars to be imported here? The answer to that question is way above my pay grade. But if it were, it'd be a massive competitor to this new Ferrari. Why? Well, Ferrari's innovation just isn't there for this new consumer. It doesn't self drive. Its screens are smaller than any of those new Chinese brands, many of which started out making smartphones and other consumer electronics. And that leads to this design that is rightfully getting derided. Ferrari doesn't like being pushed into this new world of electric, screens, and autonomy. If it could it'd go back to an all-analog car, which is what most of the buyers of Ferrari like, taking them back to their childhood. I can just imagine what Jony Ive had to do to come up with even the design he was able to ship here. Consumers used to like buttons. Old people, particularly billionaires, still do. Takes them back to familiarity and tactile senses. They still talk about how much they love the buttons and knobs in their old cars. But the new Chinese consumers grew up with smartphones and iPads you can touch. Many of them carry around @Huawei triple fold phones, that, when unfolded look like an iPad. We don't have those in America yet and Apple is rumored to be bringing a single fold device to America later this year. Such a consumer is more impressed by big screens and automation than loud engines and fast speeds. But the new rich want to stand out. Often they are running factories or tech companies where most of the engineers have Teslas or one of the new Chinese brands. How do they stand out? Roll up in one of these. And now you understand why the design of this car is so ugly. Ferrari doesn't want its traditional consumer to buy it. And didn't want a mind-blowing aggressive design that would make its traditional customer pissed that it was "going electric." It's all about trying to regain share in China.

@eurofounder Gayrrari

I attended a gay orgy once and it was less homosexual than this car

@pitdesi You don't understand the design! It must be thought provoking like the famous jaguar! Also designers don't give a crap about sales and usually try to hammer it with "creativity" 😁

I just asked ChatGPT to make a 4-door electric Ferrari- it’s pretty good at this. I bet this version would be more popular than Jony Ive’s!

@Melda1384191 Start a startup

Fastest way to go broke ?

@blockchainchick But it has a $28T TAM!!!!

The SpaceX IPO is the most brazen retail fleecing in modern market history. NASDAQ has REWRITTEN the index rules specifically for this listing. The 10% minimum free float requirement: gone. The 3 to 12 month seasoning period before index inclusion: cut to 15 trading days. Companies with small floats can now be weighted at 3x their actual float. Translation: every passive index fund, every 401k, every pension is about to be force-fed SPCX whether they want it or not. And what exactly are they buying? Class A shares carrying ONE vote each, while Musk holds 93.6% of the Class B super voting shares at TEN votes each. That gives him 85.1% of voting power on a 42% economic interest. He cannot be outvoted. He cannot be removed. CEO, CTO and board chairman simultaneously. For reference: Zuckerberg controls 61% of Meta. Buffett 35% of Berkshire. Musk: 85.1%. SpaceX is also claiming "controlled company" status, exempting it from needing a majority of independent directors. Shareholders waive the right to a jury trial. They waive the right to class actions. Mandatory arbitration only, courtesy of an SEC rule change pushed through on a party line vote last September. $1.75 trillion valuation. $80 billion raise. Largest IPO in history. The rules of the game were quietly rewritten so one man could extract maximum capital from retail while answering to no one.

@farzyness What if you put those buses on rails to give it a priority access

There's an UNBELIEVABLE use case for regional trips in the US that will decimate air travel and buses. Fully autonomous Tesla Robovans outfitted as long-haul first-class "buses". These would run routes similar to Amtrak or Greyhounds, but with First-Class-like comfort, amenities, and space. The price per seat of these can be the same as a bus, but FAR more comfortable and FAR more luxurious. Can obviously optimize the interior for the best configuration but MAN. This would absolutely KILL.

@Sheshk666 @RyanClogg Used to be the same in Moscow

@RyanClogg Check what they do in UAE. On noon i ordered a blender and it arrived in just 8 minutes 8 fucking minutes. I go to bathroom and when I come back I received call sir your order is here I was so shocked. And the order was completely no delivery charge

If you think about it... This is still absolutely insane.
