Ferrari CEO Says Tesla Was A "Wake-Up Call" For The Auto Industry

https://insideevs.com/news/652293/ferrari-ceo-says-tesla-was-wake-up-call-for-the-auto-industry/

"Things used to happen too slowly. Tesla shook up the industry and accelerated processes and decisions. They were faster and more agile."


Vigna doesn't see Tesla as a rival, though, even though he says the Prancing Horse is on track to unveil its first all-electric vehicle in 2025 before bringing it to market in 2026. "For me, it's a functional car. It's meant to go from one point to another," he said when asked how he considers Tesla.

Ferrari, on the other hand, makes "emotional cars that give you a unique driving experience," Vigna noted.

Musk was CEO before Tesla released their FIRST car, the Roadster.

BTW, I'll take the Ferrari... even if it IS slower than a Tesla Plaid.
