With that said, wouldn’t you try—I mean, if you actually gave a crap—to at least produce a nice car that something other than a blind person would love too? One that a well-off person would not mind overpaying for, both because of its brand name and, more importantly, because it is actually beautiful. Just a very good-looking car that you would sell lots of, thus actually helping your math formula for avoiding EU fines and, just maybe, even positively contributing to your shareholders’ stock value? Asking for a friend.😂 EVs don’t have to be ugly.

My friend in the exotic automotive space just sent me this regarding the Ferrari Luce and Mercedes GT: “I was chatting with some Mercedes people at their event last week and journalists about why manufacturers keep dropping these electric cars that nobody asked for — and it actually makes a lot of sense once you hear it. The EU has this rule where every car brand’s ENTIRE lineup has to average below a certain emissions number. Not per car — the whole fleet. And if they miss it, they get fined like €95 for every single gram they’re over, multiplied by every car they sold that year. We’re talking hundreds of millions. So every EV they sell pulls that average down. Which means they can keep making the V8s and AMGs and ICE cars we actually love without getting destroyed by regulators. So that MB electric GT 4-Door and the Ferrari Luce? Those aren’t passion projects. That’s compliance math. The irony is those EVs you hate might literally be the reason your favorite ICE cars still exist. Mind-bending but that’s the game right now.”

It's gross... 🤮 I'll say it again, it's almost as if these companies are purposely making EVs as ugly as possible to tell the world how they really feel about this technology (see both Mercedes-Benz and now Ferrari). You literally have a blank slate, other than safety-mandated design considerations, and this is what you guys create? @MercedesBenz @Ferrari

Yes, this is a Ferrari. For real. Ferrari's first all-electric car, the Luce, has arrived, and it brings radical change to Maranello. What do you think of its looks?

Ferrari has just officially unveiled its first ever all-electric car, called the Ferrari Luce. • Starting price: $640,000 • Interior co-designed with Apple's former head of design, Jony Ive • Range: 280 miles (expected EPA) • Peak charging speed: 350kW • 122 kWh battery • 1,050 horsepower • 0-60mph: 2.4s • 800v • Four-door four-seater • Four electric motors • OLED screens • Weight: 4,982 lbs • Front motors spin to 30,000 rpm, rears hit 25,500 rpm • Car uses an accelerometer to capture real vibrations from the electric motors & rear chassis. An algorithm filters out unpleasant frequencies and amplifies only the more “musical” sounds. This can be heard inside and outside the car. • Paddle shifter on steering wheel changes how aggressively torque is delivered, with five different levels • The trunk has 21.1 cubic feet of space, the largest luggage capacity the company has ever offered • 197.6 inches long, about as long as a Tesla Model S U.S. deliveries start in Q2 2027.

Rubbing compound combined with a moist, clean cloth. Put the cloth over your finger, apply some compound to the tip of your finger on the cloth (then a bit on the car), and gently rub the scratches with a swirling motion. If they didn’t get too deep into the base material, it will greatly reduce if not completely eliminate them. Literally made for that. Don’t ask me how I know. 😂 You can get rubbing compound at any decent auto parts store, usually in the detailing section.

I saw this Model Y on the way to the gym yesterday. I’m not sure how to feel about those rims. The more I look at them the more I shy away. What do you guys think? $tsla

This, exactly this. It’s obvious they actually hate the concept of an EV. I’d rather they not even try at this point. Their entire EV lineup has been ugly from day 1. There’s a reason they can’t give them away…and it’s not because they are EVs either. They seem to have embraced Gollum – he’s their muse – for their EV lineup.

Ne yaptın sen Mercedes… Los Angeles'taki Brad Pitt’li Hollywood şovu bir yana AMG, elektrikli çağda oyunu gerçekten başka yere taşıyor. 831 beygirlik V8 hibrit GT 4 Kapı Coupe’nin yerine artık tamamen elektrikli bir canavar geliyor. Yeni modelin altında; 106 kWh batarya, 800 volt mimari ve 3 eksenel akılı elektrik motoru yatıyor. Sonuç... AMG GT 63 4Matic+ versiyonunda tam 1.153 beygir ve 2.000 Nm tork! Launch control açıldığında rakamlar resmen çılgınlaşıyor. Giriş seviyesi GT 55 bile 805 beygir güç üretiyor. Üstelik AMG hala sadece hızın değil duygu, karakter ve sürücüyü heyecanlandıran hissin peşinde. Tasarımı ben çok beğendim ama yorum sizin... Ama kesin olan şu kimse görmezden gelemeyecek.
