Talk is EASY, while Tesla proved they can make a compelling sports car. I have been driving mine on the roads for 7 years now while easily keeping up with a few Ferrari’sIn Automotive news Europe today Marchionne said doing better than Tesla Roadster is easy:
“If there is an electric supercar to be built, then Ferrari will be the first,” Marchionne said. “People are amazed at what Tesla did with a supercar. I’m not trying to minimize what Elon did but I think it’s doable by all of us.”
....
“We do it because we have to do it,” Marchionne said. While there is work to be done, the new plan for Ferrari being released in the first half will include hybrid cars, he said, “so going from there to an electric is easy.”
It's real and it's super awesome but it's in Canada so you can't see it even though we'd really like to show it to you.I have no doubt they could. So, where is it?
But... but... I can SEE Canada from my house!It's real and it's super awesome but it's in Canada so you can't see it even though we'd really like to show it to you.
Well, like he said in the article, they will do it only when they HAVE to. So basically whenever the EU forces them. They have too much identity wrapped up in their rattle traps to switch on their own and really they have no financial reason. The v4 Tesla Roadster may start to change that but for now they are doing just fine.OTOH, given Ferrari's performance in F1 the last few years and their failure to get on board with Formula E I remain skeptical that they'll seriously compete with a full BEV roadster.
Indeed. Any ‘idiot’ can buy a large electric motor and put it in a car.I think that we have gotten to the point where power is becoming a commodity. It appears to be just a question of the size of your battery.
There's obviously much more to a car, but all the complicated engine stuff has been rendered meaningless.
This-- see above... Even if they came close to the roadster, there is no way they are selling at this price.Does anybody really see Ferrari selling a car with the capabilities of the new roadster for $200k?

Talk is cheap. Everyone else says its easy and its always going to happen in two years. Where are the electric cars that are Better than Tesla? They don't have any that compete with Tesla from years back.
