This is eye-wateringly expensive and might tank the product based on bad value alone.

What the fuck???

Are they sure it has enough screens to distract you while driving?

I'm guessing you've not seen a lot of modern cars with hyperscreens

Sure but the ones in the OP are above the steering wheel

So is Mercedes' hyperscreen. Their new e-class has a tablet sticking out above the wheel.

Time for a Carmaggedon uncensored remake

Sony, I don’t want your TV shows, I don’t want your cars… I want more games. Diversify your games. Release some shit.

Shut the fuck up already. It's from a Sony and Honda joint venture, what does that have to do with SIE?

 

[Skifi28]

The car was added to GT7 some time ago. It both looked and drove like a generic electric car.

 

[Facism]

ew that steering wheel.

 

[EekTheKat]

I would be surprised if they were actually profitable at that price. As ridiculous as it sounds the price to get a new EV to market is often so expensive that some cars are sold at a loss.

Subsidies, mandates, and other shenanigans often pushes car makers into making an EV. Some car makers are actively fined or punished quite severely if they don't sell a certain percentage of EV's, so selling EV's at a loss would be offset by profits made from selling traditional ICE cars.

In an odd way, new EV's are not too different from AAA games. Expensive and often shipped with half baked software at launch. Yearly refreshes, patches, bugs and glitches are all part of the EV experience.

And this is not including the chase for recurring revenue per vehicle sold. Subscription services and so forth for all those features that you don't actually need for basic driving.

 

[grvg]

2025 is the year of sony, right?

 

[sankt-Antonio]

Given the UI / Screen showcase BMW showed at CES this looks old already imo. Project all that shit on the windscreen.

 

[Beechos]

There goes the portable ps5 alot of us want.

 

[Unknown?]

Hydrogen?....




Electric is the future.

Maybe but as of now it's unsustainable because the battery tech sucks. It's actually way worse for the planet.

 

[CliffBronger]

In the UK electric vehicles are useless in areas that have terraced houses as there is no possible way to charge them overnight.

 

[I'm nobody]

Not even a Pro?

It's not a console I think it's remote play app
It it is a console u could probably upgrade

 

[Mephisto40]

That dashboard would be completely illegal in the UK

 

[Hudo]

Well, I am highly skeptical of hardware/software companies doing cars. But good luck to them.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

a 'media bar' allowing you to display messages on the front bumper.

I can't wait to see the nice messages people put on there .

The Afeela 1 will be made available in mid 2026, with prices for the Afeela 1 Origin, and Afeela 1 Signature, starting from $89,900 and $109,900, respectively.

I hope they offer the PS5 pro in the top trim... I mean, at that price they have to give you perks.

My overall impressions: I want less tech in my cars, I found that driving around with these distractions make driving a shore.

However, I can see a place where you don't really drive that much anymore so the big screen would be useful as an entertainment device, even for the driver.

One of the reasons why electric car prices are tanking.

People aren't ready for them.

I won't be touching one with a barge pole until i'm forced to.

 

[octos]

Good to have a steering wheel which doesn't block the view to the screen just behind. In some cars this is extremely annoying and dangerous.
Also, I believe this is a mostly self driving car, right?

Concord: the automobile

 

[R6Rider]

The wheels/rims remind me of ones on Teslas.

They look awful.

 

[ReBurn]

...but seems like an actual usable car, so there's that.

I guess. There aren't any EV's that would fit into my lifestyle so none of them are really usable to me.

 

[Hookshot]

I'll wait for the 30th anniversary version.

 

[64bitmodels]

i wish people would make cars that are fun to drive, not cars that distract you from driving. seems like an easy way to lead to accidents

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Sony is padding those PS5 sales geez jk

 

[tylrdiablos]

Sony, I don’t want your TV shows, I don’t want your cars… I want more games. Diversify your games. Release some shit.

Careful with the D word. Don't want another Concord.

 

[Idleyes]

I'd buy it just for the spectacle.

 

[Musashipan]

Hideous
Looks like a Chinese generic ev crap

Market for ev is very competitive right now, why would they risk trying? Should've pull the plug like apple did.

 

[rofif]

nah man.
I am taking cybertruck with that money. People can say whatever but that thing is cool and stupid as fuck

 

[dotnotbot]

Guys, you're not gonna see any benefit from PS5 Pro on these tiny postcard sized screens anyway.

 

[RoboFu]

I'm not Afeeling it.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Hard pass.

 

[Buhaj]

I really don't understand why they banned physical buttons since Tesla did it.

Screens are cheaper. Fortunately, some companies reversed course. Respect for Mazda for sticking with physical buttons at the peak of the touch control stupidity.

 

[noob smokes]

This is a flex i can see rappers buyin this shit talkin bout my car a playstation lol

 

[xrnzaaas]

I won't lie... I LOVE those side mirror cameras and how large they are and I think more cars should start doing it like that going forward, the only gripe is what is going on with the size of the bezels of the displays.

I actually like it.

Honda e did that much better, because the outside mirrors were tiny. Here you have the regular sized mirrors so there's really no point in turning them into screens. It's also going to be another expensive piece of the car to fix when damaged and that can happen very easily in a parking lot.

A digital rear mirror is a cool feature especially when the visibility to the back is abysmal. Side mirrors are just overkill and a gimmick.

No, screens are not cheaper than buttons for a few cents. But yes extra buttons are a few cents more, ... but for cars that cost a few thousands more ....

 

[thefool]

I'll keep my petrol car with no screens, thanks.

 

[Tams]

Surprise surprise

 

[ReBurn]

I just watched this the other day. Fun movie

 

[Fahdis]

Fucking amazing. How do I crash it?

 

[DeepEnigma]

All I'm reminded of is,

 

[Forsete]

Enjoying my petrol-hybrid, but would pick this over the Tezla any day.

 

[mopspear]

They're watching Spiderman on the dash.

"Mr. Stark? I don't Afeela so good..."

It's weird how they would make a special edit of Infinity War JUST FOR THIS!

 

[adamsapple]

Brilliant callback.
