You’re confusing your taste to the taste of someone who is probably making a purchase solely on brand and it being an EV.
replyThis thing might sell incredibly poorly but one thing I have always found to be true. The taste of HN commenters is wildly different than target demographics.
why would the ultra wealthy care about it being an ev? operating cost and climate impact are not a priority when you are dropping 650k and living in a oil rich ME kingdom.
replyperformance and aesthetics s would be more important, surely?
EVs are legitimately better to drive.
replyWhy fixate on Arab countries? Rich people live all over the world and there are increasingly more emission restrictions. And again, as I keep repeating myself, just because you are not the target demographic does not mean it does not exist. I could easily see someone who does not care about cars wanting this because of the brand and yeah even EVs can matter depending on social circles.
replyYou guys are defending this to death. I am only pointing out that it would not surprise me it fits a demographic they were targeting.
Most housewives in dubai buy Rolls royce anyway. It looks better
replyOk? Still does not defend anything you are saying.
