Toyota owns Lexus, Ford had Jaguar and Land Rover, Hyundai owns Genesis, Volkswagon has Bentley, Fiat owns Ferrari. Just like other car manufacturers, Tesla doe

  Tesla doesn't run a volume production line. All the major players have production lines that make about one car a minute. Tesla isn't able to play in the big leagues until they can do that.

    Fair enough, but how will they ever achieve that without first trying to compete in this outrageously competitive industry?
    • fma 9y ago
      By solving their biggest problems first, rather than create new distractions? Kinda the same thing any company would do.

  > Tesla does it all. Except make enough Model 3's, they don't do that.

  Ford didn't start Jaguar or Land Rover; it bought them in 1990 and 2000 respectively. And sold both to Tata Motors in 2008.

  Ford sold Jaguar and Land Rover to Tata motors during the recession. They also sold Aston Martin and Volvo. > edit: Ford didn't start Jaguar. I don't even know what this even mean. Nor do I understand what the original comment of yours mean. It doesn't make any sense and it doesn't seem like you are well verse with cars or automakers at all...

  I don't think (although it's complicated), Fiat still owns Ferrari?
  • dullgiulio 9y ago
    I think not. They still have the same (biggest) ownership, but they are not the same company. FCA still owns Lamborghini, though.
    • ch4ck 9y ago
      Lamborghini is Audi (VW Group).
    • wastedhours 9y ago
      As mentioned above, Lambo is VW, but FCA retains Alfa and Maserati.

        Oops, I meant Maserati.
