Never thought I'd say this about a Ferrari, but this is one of the ugliest EV designs ever, and it can be all yours for $640,000 lol
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt
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. More photos in the thread below:

@SawyerMerritt Well this is definitely in the running for ugliest Ferrari ever made. It's genuinely hideous.

@TeslaJigsaw Jason is risking his career here. If the anti-tesla movement gets a hold of this they will boycott and slander him into oblivion, and he knows that too, yet he’s still saying all of these positive things about Tesla. What a legend.

@ZeroDayFlawLLC @lomaxx Someone on $70k per year isn’t paying 30% tax. What are you on about?
English
Dude, the principal in debate here is that regular hardworking people cannot afford to pay their bills on $70,000 per year. They have zero net worth, negative in fact. And the government takes 30% of their net worth every paycheck. It’s oppressive. A billionaire selling a fraction of a fraction of their assets to propagate this flawed system they love is not oppression. It’s the only way. Or they will have no more customers.

This is where the “tax the rich” crowd lose me.
Say I earn 90k a year and in 2027 I inherit $200,000
I invest that $200k and after 10 years in the stock market it’s now worth $400k
If I sell it and realise the $200k capital gain, what the govt and the “tax the rich” crowd are saying is that I should be taxed as if I make $290k every year.
Now if I try and split that CGT income across 2 people I’m “greedy” and avoiding tax
But if I sell down in 4x $100k lots over 4 years and minimise my tax, that’s ok and nobody bats an eyelid - but it’s the same principle.
English
@hodler2018x @lomaxx It’s genuinely concerning how many people do not understand tax basics.
English
@lomaxx There are too many incorrect assumptions in your scenario, particularly the difference in taxable income and capital gains tax and how it’s calculated.

@benobegood @BiancaColecchia You realise this budget will make housing more affordable right?
English
@BiancaColecchia We’ll own nothing and be happy looking like the WEF will get their way
English
Labor’s budget is working great for the housing market isn’t it?
Landlords unable to keep up with rising expenses and taxes, and renters are ultimately left to pay the price… but hey, this was all done to HELP the average Aussie.

Anthony Albanese states he doesn’t think property investment is “productive”, despite building his property portfolio using negative gearing for decades. ebx.sh/i8tLPy

@GeoffWilsonWAM It really mustn't hey. It's actually incredibly important that people don't listen to people like you.

We are fighting for all Australians. The government’s insane CGT legislation must be stopped.

The architect of campaigns against Labor’s superannuation tax and its franking credits proposal has escalated another battle with the Albanese government. skynews.com.au/business/finan…

@DerekFranc90653 That's not telling anyone anything though. What's the assumed income, inflation, how long was the asset held, etc?
English
Yep, the actual tax rates are on average about 42% for anyone with a diverse investment portfolio up to $45,000, or a rise of between 130% and infinity!

“These proposals are another step in our march towards a high tax, high debt, low productivity, low growth future,” Costello writes in The Australian Financial Review. “The young will have a lifetime of these higher taxes. They will never have the same opportunities their parents had – or indeed that members of the Albanese cabinet had – to save, invest and keep a decent share of the proceeds.” afr.com/policy/economy…

@etherealcapital @plebcapital Well i don't think they've really been encouraged too either, when property investment has proven to be such a low risk high return investment platform.
English
@cicohipe @plebcapital Yep. It would be great if the banks would back small business. Alas they do not, and at the down to the greater Australian economy. We need more risk taking backed by Australian banks in this country!
English
One thing that has become apparent in the CGT debate is how many Australians do not understand the difference between the capital account and the income account.
Embarrassing but also funny.
English
@etherealcapital @plebcapital In my experience, most businesses that need a loan go to a bank, and they pay an interest rate like anyone else. What business needs right now is to improve productivity, and we need skilled workers to achieve that. There's real benefits in the budget for business.
English
@cicohipe @plebcapital No investment = no jobs = no improvement. I want to create jobs in order to serve others.
English
@etherealcapital @plebcapital yeah but they've compensated businesses with things like permanent instant asset write off too.
English
@cicohipe @plebcapital It's fine for properties, and I support Labor in those changes. It doesn'st work for business that has a low cost base versus a exit.
English
@etherealcapital @plebcapital I honestly think as long as they let people claim indexed tax losses the new cgt proposal is better. A flat 50% discount after a year favoured those with larger portfolios and higher incomes unfairly.
English
@cicohipe @plebcapital Just leave it as it is, it's working fine as is.
English
@etherealcapital @plebcapital Should we tax based on risk then? How would that work?
English
@alisterberkeley Where's the incentive to build something when you can just buy property?
English
Australia often allocates capital poorly. Too much capital goes into housing, land speculation, banks, resources and defensive yield assets.
Too little goes into productive enterprise, technology, scaling companies, advanced manufacturing, research, commercialisation and exportable intellectual property.
The govt just made this worse. Here is why:
1. The government overspends.
2. Then it needs more revenue.
3. Then it taxes productive capital.
4. Then fewer people take risk.
5. Then investment slows.
6. Then productivity falls.
7. Then wages stagnate.
Then government needs even more revenue to fund the gap. And the cycle repeats. This never ends well.
The debate should not be capital versus labour.
It should be disciplined capital allocation versus reckless capital consumption.
Australia does not need to punish the people who build things.

@shawty585636 @TimWilsonMP Yeah you're gonna have to explain your working on this one.

This week I have been hearing stories from small businesses, start-ups and self starters that embody the Australian spirit.
They want to take the risk, get ahead, and change our country for the better. They start with nothing, and now the Labor government wants to tax their aspiration.
Any Australian who wants to take the risk, be a self starter, and turn their dream into reality should be commended, not hit with another new tax.
That’s why we’ll repeal Labor’s small business and start-up tax.
