I just want to know what exactly is wrong with it? I get the history with Ferrari cars and their aesthetic and all. But it looks like what one would expect from the man who designed iPhone.

It's an overpriced Hyundai. Just because it has a Ferrari badge does not make it a Ferrari. Here's what an electric EV supercar could look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlRIdLz6Juk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlRIdLz6Juk

You just identified what (some) people dislike about it. It's the disconnect between your final two sentences.

  It would have worked fine with a much lower price and if it were badged as an Apple car.

> what exactly is wrong Some chucklehead car review guy on YouTube is going to get their hands on one of these, put a Door Dash car topper on the roof and drive around town to see if anyone notices the $640k delivery vehicle. Few people will, and that's what's wrong: the entire point of Ferrari, for better or worse, going on 85+ years, is to get looks. If all the people that have ever purchased a Ferrari for its interior design vanished today, there are so few it wouldn't make a headline. The Testarossa interior was so tragically bad it probably shouldn't have been permitted by the DOT et al. Yet there it was, plastered on posters and magazine covers; a thing of dreams around the world. So only yet another case of complete disconnect between a brand and its loyalists. Not the first, and given the myopia plaguing such folk today, not the last.

> from the man who designed iPhone How about this: techbros got their hands everywhere nowadays, so even an iconic car brand is forced to use their brainfarts? Forced by market pressure, forced by export conditions, you name it, but I cannot fathom why otherwise getting a tech guy design a car. I actually like the design, but I must agree it doesn't look Ferrari at all. Did they fire Manzoni or what?
