Porsche. “Aluminum key”

Tesla roadster. “Drives upside down, flies, does flips, 0-60 in 0.81s”

View on HN

Porsche. "You can buy me as promised in a timeframe i told you"

Tesla roadster. "Hold my key, i might actually get delivered in 2-5 years after waiting for 10"

"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."

I would fire the marketing team.

Is this a Jony Ive collab? Sure seems there are a lot of similarities to the Ferrari Luce.

Interesting. It kinda does have a tiny bit of semblance inside, but not as nearly refined.

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.

I see a lot of Claudeisms/AI slop in the copy text on that page. Really disappointed from that page, agreed, fire the marketing team.

Yup.

Advertising the fact that the key is from some other metal is... weird.

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".

People are still using metal keys to open and start cars?

Different target audience.

I'd rather have an aluminum key.

The Aluminium key is a bit silly.

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!

one of them is real product, the other just some promo skeleton made for promo, which they dont actually properly show

Aren't we still waiting for the previous tesla roadster to be released?
