The Ferrari Luce Sold Out. Does that matter?
Ferrari's much derided Luce has reportedly sold out. Was it inevitable, or have we learned something about the market from the Jony Ive car?

It's so wild to read a car review that actually acknowledges the material reality of the world we live in instead of hallucinating one that automakers want you to believe exists. Alloy rules, I just wish we could have Rory lease more cars at once
It is a fantastic commuter, but so are a lot of cheaper, more practical cars. Rivian was conceived in a time when a lot of people anticipated endless expansion of EV market share and infrastructure to match. A lot of people also anticipated that EV owners would buy SUVs and trucks, and that SUV and truck owners would be open to EVs. None of this has materialized in a version of the United States that can’t maintain infrastructure, provide basic services or even build war materiel anymore, let alone get aligned behind a fledgling technology. No matter how good the product is, Rivian is facing a tough market and a government that has gone from insufficiently supportive to openly hostile

Finally got around to reading this. Have also begun to find the first-gen RX quite handsome recently, and the ones that are still around seem no worse for wear for their years. Proper early-days Lexus, just a bit taller.
