While speaking at Ferrari’s Maranello headquarters with Bloomberg News, Vigna said that Tesla accelerated change in the auto industry, and he also revealed what he learned from the EV maker. “The big contribution that Tesla has made to the automotive industry? It was a wake-up call. Things used to happen too slowly. Tesla shook up the industry and accelerated processes and decisions. They were faster and more agile,” the Ferrari CEO said.

When asked about his views on Tesla’s vehicles, Vigna said that the company’s electric cars are “meant to go from one point to another.” Moreover, Vigna also spoke about Ferrari’s electrification plans in the future. Ferrari is currently one of the only few major car manufacturers across the globe that are yet to introduce an electric vehicle.
“Electrification is a new way to provide our customers a unique driving experience, and I’ve no doubt that our electric powertrains will give clients the same thrills of combustion engines. The point is how to extract the best emotion from the use of this technology, giving something unique to the clients,” Vigna said. He also reiterated Ferrari’s plans to be a carbon neutral brand by the year 2030.
