Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna said all Luce electric vehicles slated for 2027 production have already been claimed by buyers, meaning new customers now face at least a one-year wait. The Jony Ive-designed five-seat EV starts at roughly $615,000, with first deliveries expected in the fourth quarter of this year. Ferrari has not disclosed exact production numbers, though reports have cited plans for under 500 units this year and a longer-term goal of 2,500 by 2030.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple CEO John Ternus has taken direct oversight of the company's industrial design and human interface teams, a responsibility he assumed even before formally becoming CEO following Jeff Williams' departure as COO. Gurman reports Ternus visits the design studio multiple times a week, sometimes more than once a day, far more frequently than Tim Cook's roughly monthly visits. Apple has not launched a search for a Chief Design Officer to replace Jony Ive, instead relying on internal leaders like Molly Anderson and Steve Lemay alongside Ternus's hands-on involvement.
