What do we think about the current junior designer who seems to be the lead for the 12 C. Andrea Miletello was appeared as the face of the design team during a press video explaining the design of the coupe and spider. What surprised me was his choice of clothing. A designer naturally cares about aesthetic and detail. “I wanted chic and sexy. What we got was over weight and sloppy. Is it too much to ask for a thin well groomed female paratrooper?” (The Devil Loves Prada, film)
I wonder if the EU will impose a penalty tax on all ICE and ICE hybrids after 2035. This a great way for politicians to appear Right even when they are Wrong. Oh sorry I meant to say LEFT.
Where are the Ferrari Electric gonna charge? I live in Malibu and this is a popular place for Tesla. There is a Tesla charging station located in an upscale shopping mall, right in front of a Blue Bottle coffee shop. And there is a Tesla dealership next door What is the charging station density in the EU? Is Ferrari going to use a conventional charge plug or will Ferrari decide to do their own bespoke plug which will only be connectable to a Ferrari connection? Is FErrari going to offer their own residential charging station for EU use? How much will Ferrari garage for this? Maybe 20 times what Tesla charges. When the Ferrari batteries die , how much is a replacement pack? 100K or 200K?
Are Ferrari batteries going to spontaneously combust, forcing their owners to keep them parked outside?
Tesla and other large EV producers are looking at Salt and Aluminum based alternatives Also looking at shorter range but faster charging time in a daily commute battery Pair that with a long range battery for special occasions . So you are not charging a long range pack for short range commutes. Most commutes are less than 20 miles in a day. If it takes 5 minutes to re charge that smaller battery then it’s a win Tesla strategy.
A few in Germany have seen the light, but it’s too late the ecoweenie climate hugging deindustrializers have already destroyed German’s ability to make cheap energy. They have lost their competitive edge and their smarter manufacturing base is leaving for “greener” pastures.
