Why would you think that? Rich housewives/spouses do exist.

The Urus is at least to me the equivalent kind of car. Captures a market that does not appeal to traditional lambos. I could see this doing the same.

I would assume even they would prefer buying something sexier than an iphone on wheels.
You’re confusing your taste to the taste of someone who is probably making a purchase solely on brand and it being an EV.

This 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.

Most housewives in dubai buy Rolls royce anyway. It looks better

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.

performance and aesthetics s would be more important, surely?

Wouldn't the Purosangue be the competitor though?
I am pointing out that manufacturers introduce models to capture new demographics. Just like the Urus did.
