You’re misunderstanding the term. Design language is subtle aesthetic cues, usually not functional, that remind you of other things they’ve made in the past. To suggest that the batteries dictate stuff like the shape of headlights doesn’t make sense.
You’re right, shape is also part of design language too, but I don’t think being an EV prevented this from looking like a Ferrari. Body styling cues could make the connection, like the way a Cayenne is a SUV but still looks like what you think of as a Porche. It just seems like Ferrari didn’t want to here, for one reason or another.

Fair. I meant proportions/silhouette, not details like lights. I just mistakenly thought those were also part of design.
