I think energy efficiency matters more with EVs, because it determines how frequently you have to charge on road trips, and more aerodynamic designs look a bit uglier.

Ferrari makes hypercars, they know a thing or two about making aerodynamics look good. It's a primary concern of all their designs and yet all their other designs look a lot better than this.

I think they are just falling into the same trap all other manufacturers do at first. They think the customer buying the EV is a different customer, who didn't like their other cars. So they make the techno-future mobile for a customer that doesn't exist.

Just make the same cars with an EV drivetrain, that's what the person who loves your brand but is in the market for an EV wants.

It's a $650,000 car. These are not anyone's top priorities with it.

This is correct, but I really don't see why Ferrari would care.

It’s a sports car, they all have atrocious fuel efficiency, especially in this price range.
