Ferrari applauds Musk: Roadster debut that made an impact

Ferrari spoke positively about Elon Musk and the launch of the first Tesla Roadster, calling it a daring debut that drew the industry’s attention. It was an unusual but notable endorsement from the head of the Prancing Horse.

Tesla’s electric sports car, introduced years ago as a landmark project, helped show that battery-powered cars could also focus on image, performance and desirability. That message is now central for traditional carmakers too.
