Worth is relative. This is a concept most people can't comprehend due to the class where 90% of people reside. Is a 600, 000 dollar car worth it by peasant standards No, absolutely not, that's absurdity and anyone who does that should be tarred and feathered for wasting so much money.
But if you truly are someone who money is no object to you, what do you care if a car cost 60, 000 or 600, 000 You go to a dealer, you test drive, you customize and you have an assistant do the paperwork and Financials. I personally think this is a phenomenal piece of modern engineering and I genuinely appreciate how basically the only thing limiting customization is regulations on safety.
I wish the customization nature of this vehicle was something we could have on normal cars, as I think it would help bring down cost if we could buy base models with the 2 features you want and leave the rest base, we'd see a massive shift in the car market. Plus if we had that kind of customization, we'd see what features people actually want and what is only commonly spec'ed currently due to packages

Any review of an EV should mention whether the vehicle/platform has a heat pump. Heat pumps are far more important than frunks. In fact, many EVs have frunks because they don't include heat pumps. Not having a heat pump on an EV will cut your driving range in half during the winter. It's sort of like the EV equivalent of buying a 720p flat screen in 2025. Far from state of the art in EV technology. The Spectre comes with a heat pump.

Very difficult to put myself in the shoes of someone who can afford one of these, or for that matter would want to spend $600k on any car, even if they could afford it. But since I enjoy driving, if I could afford it and justify it considering the poverty out there, I’d far rather get several other cars. If I did get a Rolls, those I’d have to get one with interior colors that don’t make me want to puke.

10: 55 I appreciate that this is nice, but $558k nice I would buy BMW i7 if wanting to be chauffeured or ferry around people, and save about $300k. Having said that, if you are wanting to 'arrive' in something very special, I would opt out of the current ev offerings and go for a Phantom with extended wheel base for around the same money as the Spectre, but you get a dedicated space designed for passengers.

Years ago I predicted that as EVs became better and more accepted we would start to see a return to the giant land yachts last seen a half century ago. This is because the environmental regulations that killed the big sedans won't really apply anymore. That said, I'm not interested in getting into a car that thinks it's smarter than I am. Especially when there is a good chance that it is.

Awesome car and review. I feel like reviewers should be separated and not everyone driving everything. Main reason is going from one to another isn't fair to 99% vehicles buyers. Comparison is also unfair. Like car shows in 90s and 2000s as they review vehicles and comparing is not saying which is better as everyone tastes are different like our needs and requirements

Once upon time there were some ultraluxury Amrerican brands Pierce Arrow, Peerless, Stearns-Knight, Packard, Du Pont, Stutz, Marmon, Franklin, Kissel, Ruxton, Duesenberg, making Rolls Royce feel cheap circa 1930.
In fact from 1929 to 1950ties Cadillac was way more advanced in luxury features and more expensive vs Rolls Royce.

Always found it weird that there was any plastic at all in the interior of those cars. You would think that for that price absolutely everything would be metal especially things you touch all the time like the shifter stalks and headlight control stalk let alone that trim on the steering wheel.

$600K for ultra-high net worth folks is really nothing - a lot less than a new Equinox for regular folks. This is a market segment that has not really been addressed much, but since the wealth increases of the top. 01% is dramatically increasing, it really needs to be.

If I had a 2-door Rolls-Royce I would not want to seat in the back nor in the passenger seat. I'd drive it myself but I'd not want to stop at the gas station and pump gas while strangers trying to make the same chat every time. So, the EV Rolls-Royce does make sense.

This review is an abject failure: no review of a Rolls-Royce is complete without saying waft or wafting at least once. Tsk tsk. :)
As an EV owner, If I were wealthy enough to buy a $600k car, this would be on my shopping list. Thanks for the review!

The 'what ever color that is' for the exterior/seats reminds me of the contents of a babies diaper after a bout of exploding diarrhea. Other than that, a nice little runabout for picking up the kids after their weekly therapy session.

I’m a bit surprised the range isn’t better with that much battery, but it has some serious heft that isn’t helping. I’m sure I’ll just buy a 2nd one so I don’t have to wait on it to charge.

I would agree that Rolls Royce has no competitor. If you want the best, you get the Rolls. If value or money crosses your mind in your vehicle selection, look elsewhere.

Since these cars will rarely be driven, it will take a decade or two before they offset production emissions. Ie, it makes no sense at all to buy a RR EV.

It was either between the RR Spectre or the Toyota Corolla for me, but the included umbrella was way too long for my taste, so I went with the Corolla instead

Your last podcast talked about how you and most of us are not the demographic that buys new cars, I cant even fathom the demographic that buys THIS car

Whoever picked the exterior/interior colors should be banned from owning a vehicle and the next buyer should demand a $200k discount.
