So google are going to kill their own search engine, they're going to start putting AI generated results first in search results.

Search engines fucking suck now. When I search for "what is the best way to do x" and I get hundreds of AI-written drivel websites all telling me the top ten best x's. When I'm ruler of the world anyone who creates one of those bullshit websites will be executed.

The other day I was searching for potential issues with sealing pipes into a chased wall with expanding foam, and one of those websites told me that it was a bad idea because "expanding foam can stop the flow of electricity". Absolute fucking shite. The best way to get results now is to end the search with "forum" or "reddit".

I...I don't hate it.

Ferrari wanted to take on Chinese EVs with the Luce - then the backlash started

The brand's first EV has been heavily criticised, with some saying it has abandoned Ferrari's roots.

As a plug in hybrid 4x4 it would be cool as fuck. (as if I could afford one)

Maybe a rethink on the bonnet.

Or...dare I say it. Plug in Hybrid-Hydrogen.

It's ugly!

The interior is quite nice though without the screens and stuff but yeah I dunno.

They tried to take on Chinese EVs by making a Chinese EV?

I suppose it is a good reflection of the car industry - spreadsheet says this copy paste look sells, so we do that.

I quite like the BYD stuff, some of them at work. Pretty sure it's them that do a 4x4 with a drone in the roof, I doubt there is a market (or legality) for them here. They leave Tesla behind in design.

I could still never charge one at home, not without carving up a conservation area. Could fit at least 3 cars, and charging stations.

AND upset the old biddies...AND fucking actual tourists (Americunts, the other day), who stop and comment on who good my front garden looks.

It's not ugly; it's bland, which in many ways is even worse.

I get what Ferrari were aiming for; EV two-seat supercars have, by and large, failed, and everyone would constantly compare such a car to an ICE Ferrari anyway, so they decided to lean into the inherent packaging benefits of EVs (whopping power on a flat skateboard structure) and do something new, especially by just having an EV is stretching the brand anyway. I also think the Ive involvement was a deliberate distraction.

However, the design is just quite boring and even an EV Ferrari needs a sense of occasion that extends beyond the badge. I think they're hoping the interior does a lot of that but it's not going to work in western markets, especially at €450 grand! But they might do better in China where there's a cohort of very rich people who will only care about the badge in the same way they only care about LVMH, Rolls-Royce or Prada for what it represents, not what it is. And maybe that's part of the logic behind the boring design; the Chinese companies will copy it anyway, so all that matters is the badge.

Chinese Purosangue ripoff. As they're doing Temu Ferraris anyway, all that's left is the badge.
