How are "constantly rearranging" instruments an essential?
Some designers don't get it.
Too much ego. Those are the one's who would have failed to finish a cathedral over several generations within the same style (re-read chapter 4 of "The Mythical Man-Month" to understand).
It's a distraction. And a pure driver's car avoids any distraction.
I see this in software too - designers have to constantly justify their own employment by redesigning things that work perfectly well and literally no one has ever complained about. But if you're on the payroll to design, you have to design.

Kids those days. They _need_ to come with something "new". Fixing bugs is hard. They just "rearange" it. They took the idea from SW development. Everybody (Google, Mozilla, Microsoft, Gnome) is doing it so it must be good.
"Noticeably different from the very first moment: the aluminium key offers a glimpse of what is to come. Even before the engine starts, a connection to the car is formed, transforming anticipation into something tangible."
But I'd much rather have a premium car from a manufacturer with premium car standards. Have you seen the panel gaps on Teslas? They're like fancy Ladas!
The marketing page says it's mid-engined. Maybe it's one of these newer hybrids not designed for range for but performance boost especially a low RPMs where the gas engine last immediate torque.
Looks nice but the presentation of the website is terrible.Looks like they are try-harding.Not happy with the copy at all.But the lines of of the car are nice to see.Please Porsche keep it together.
Peak performance alone will not imbue something with a soul, and adding (or adding additional) computers frequently seems to overlap with something becoming more soulless.
An SSD is faster, but a hard drive ticking away is a language its own, and an amorphous white-by-default Tesla Plaid may be one of the fastest cars on any road, but odds are the only feeling it evokes is "This is faster than any reasonable person needs, and likely more than is safe for any standard American motorist to be able to just go out and buy"
Why not both? What makes EVs meaningful is when you get to the point of pushing green electricity to the grid and have the bulk of the utilitarian traffic consume it. Electrifying supercars for the sake of it has no measurable impact in the grand scheme of things.
Just having more HP doesn't translate to a better car on a race track. There is much more to the performance just pure power-to-weight distribution. There is a reason to enjoy a humble Mazda MX-5 over Tesla 3 performance

Tesla roadster. “Drives upside down, flies, does flips, 0-60 in 0.81s”
I would fire the marketing team.
Thing is Ive didn't design exterior tho, but getting all the flak for it. Meanwhile interior of Luce is first Ferrari that doesn't look like a joke.
Who gives a fuck? Never have i used a key and thought "wow, I wish the metal was different, that would noticeably change my experience".
Tesla roadster. "Hold my key, i might actually get delivered in 2-5 years after waiting for 10"
I'd rather have an aluminum key.

Zero info about the engine on the page - or is it electric? The page doesn't really say.
For a sports car, that sort of info is kinda important?
From the opposite side Tesla’s presentation was way “yee-ahh” and tacky from the perspective of other publics
Please add spaces after periods. The presentation is terrible.
1000HP of EV power, definitely not a V8

That's why they suck
Lightly related, here’s the design patent for the original Targa design:

Poor timing.
