Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna praised Tesla’s redesigned Roadster presentation, rating its technology and presentation highly and saying it showed that bold innovation remains possible in the mature auto industry. Tesla’s demonstration featured dramatic maneuvers and SpaceX-developed thrusters, while CEO Elon Musk said production is planned for 2028. The timeline remains uncertain after years of delays: the Roadster was first revealed in 2017 with deliveries initially expected in 2020, and analysts cautioned that customers will have to wait. Vigna also discussed Ferrari’s first electric vehicle, the Luce, saying outside design expertise helped the company take risks and rethink its approach.
