I love that Rolls have so many physical buttons and dials. Who'd have thought that physical buttons would be considered luxury. Well done car companies, you played yourself.

[@Peter-mj6lz]

I think screen can do a lot but is cheaper than more specialised buttons

[@edgarsilva4599]

Great comment! Touchscreen works fine for phones because you're constantly looking at the screen. That same dynamic doesn't translate well to cars

[@thebitlot]

Luxury is almost always a matter of scarcity; have vs have nots. When touchscreens stopped becoming exotic and started becoming the standard, capitalizing on rich people's nostalgia was a small but powerful play.

[@Peter-mj6lz]

@@thebitlot There is probably more to it as Rolls Royce didn’t use more screens when they were less common. For example, screens offer a lot of visual information, but I think they are more laggy than knobs/buttons. And then even if they aren’t I think it’s normal to associate a screen with more lag. This mentally makes a screen seem less luxury feeling as it doesn’t just work and is more complicated. Classic luxury cars weren’t complicated, they were just designed to do what they do well. Also screens lack a tactile experience. I think luxury is mainly about how it makes the customer feel, it’s about quality over quantity. Screens offer quantity more than quality if it comes to using it for driver controls. Also information overload can cause anxiety, maybe that’s a reason they didn’t put temperature numbers on the heating knobs. You don’t need a number to tell you whether you are too warm or too cold, your body would just know.

They're a conservative brand with conservative clients. It also makes sense why their first EV is a coupe and not their bread and butter sedans. This way they don't upset their legacy customers, and they can take the feedback from the Spectre to the next Phantom.

[@muskokamike127]

26:02 one of the main reasons it costs $520,000.00 is not because they used the "best" materials, it is because the people who buy them WANT to pay more than anyone else. It's perceived value. I worked for a cabinet company and they made high end kitchen cabinets. We installed one, $67,000.00. The neighbour came over, saw it, pulled the boss aside "I want one too, but I want it to cost $78,000. I don't care what you do, that's what I want to spend" it's called bragging rights. "I paid $5000 for the starry night emblem on the dashboard".

[@bogdanrus9402]

Yep. That's why "most people cant feel that 1%". Because it doesn't exist. This car has the same leather you'll find in the S class, and in the G Wagon, and in the 7 series, because there's only so much you can make out of raw materials. Hell, it looks like they aren't even bothering to make them look different to BMWs anymore. People that buy these buy them because they want to say they paid 500k for a Rolls Royce, they dont want a 100k 7 series. The RR badge is what you pay for, and what makes it worth it for those who pay, is the fact that it's not a Mercedes badge.

[@Biosynchro]

Hence CD players that cost $10,000. Why? Precisely because nobody else can afford them.

An excellent review and analysis, you captured the ethos of Rolls Royce. They don’t make cars, they are the purveyor of luxury goods. This side of the pond when discussing range, Rolls Royce explained they consulted their customers.

The test cars that RR had of this model were so quiet, that people actually became sick driving them: the interplay between sound/vibration, how our eyes and inner ear perceive movement is a very tricky balancing act and the total absence of a certain level and type of NVH while driving can cause nausea, dizziness etc type issues. RR had to reintroduce certain sounds back into the car (not sure, but believe not all were audible) to fix the issue.

The Power Reserve gauge has been on the Rolls Royce for generations like it's been designed way in advance for this switch to electric powered vehicles. I was drive testing the Dacia Spring the other week (which is one of the cheapest battery powered cars in Europe) and one of the first things I noticed was this same gauge but mirrored, it immediately made me think "well this must be on the opposite side of the spectrum from the RR" 😂 It's a good little car for its purpose though, and it also has "sufficient" power 😅

The engine sound of 2024 RR SPECTRE is like a Gen 3 Formula E car.😅

@@purwantiallan5089 I'm not really in theme with this stuff, the algorithm noticed I was interested in electric cars for a few hours so it gave me this and I watched it for old time sakes :))

Doug please show us the headlights, rear lights, turn signals and horn of the cars again just like you did in your first videos

[@shrivatsankchari1729]

I love how raw these videos are. Some other place i might be mesmerized by the advertising but here most of the features just come off as gimmicky and funny.

This vehicle solidifies that electric cars are not purchased for environmental reasons

[@Wheatybic]

lol most people buy them to save money, you're being naive if you think you or your neighbour buying electric is saving the earth

The container ships that transport the batteries emits more pollution than my Camry emits in three lifetimes.

[@mh-rl4sz]

When you take a look for all parts of EV story, there are still many challenges like: how will we produce so much electricity, where will mine materials for battery, will people feel comfortable to drive on old car batteries in 10 years, how hard is to recycle or fix old battery. I have feeling gasoline cars will still stay many years in production.

[@xxZerosumxx]

At one time that was the reason why people bought them. People have seen its just a better driving and ownership experience.

Huge part of exclusivity was the V12

[@snakeeyes9246]

(Casually drowns in rising sea levels)

[@rapu4]

Couldn't care less about the V12 being gone. Electric, for better or worse, seems to be the future, and it certainly suits a Rolls-Royce. In my mind the V12 was simply a means to an end, since V12s have always provided supreme torque and unparalleled smoothness, which is exactly what a Rolls-Royce needs. But you know what gives greater torque and even greater smoothness? Electric motors. It's a no-brainer, especially for a Rolls-Royce, where the added weight from a battery pack doesn't matter in the slightest.

[@sprezzatura8755]

Euro 5 emissions regulations put an end to lots of ICE engines, likely the V-12.

[@crwhite5881]

Very good review, and was pretty much spot on! Yes, the price is on the "lofty" side, but it id sll about the "experience". I had the Wraith, and yes it does favor it physically, but it is definitely different ..... they are both beautiful cars. (BTW. I cannot wait to see if you get to review the upcoming Cadillac Celestiq ..... the "upstart" Ultra-Lux EV!

[@nicksimpson88]

kind of wild that its all the same stuff from the other models even though this is a new one. You'd think they would have innovated a bit more

[@Lukeywoodsey]

It's not really about innovation. They're all about luxury not tech. Besides a lot of the customers are very old, technology would confuse them

The rear seats are outfitted with all the possible amenities. However, I reckon that it would be quite challenging to fit comfortably two adults back there

[@Aggie4life77]

To me it’s for kids. For adults, it’s for very short trips! One thing I noticed is almost zero leg room when he put the drivers seat back!

[@NigelThornbery]

Do the doors light up as well? It only looks like paint splatter on the doors. If they charge 17k for that that’s wild.

How awful of a packaging do you need to have in order to not find any space for a frunk under that massive hood

[@elrey8876]

Yeah if there's no engine then why can't they put in a frunk?

[@Lukeywoodsey]

The electric motors, coolant, radiators and suspension is all under the bonnet. There's a battery at the front and back so genuinely no room for a frunk
