That's part of the reasons why the Italian minister for ecological transition, Cingolani, few days ago talked about rethinking the ban strategy on ICE engines, using the supercar market as an example of an European industry that would suffer from it.
Italy wants to build their own batteries, in Europe
Germany wants to build batteries in Germany, no matter who produces them
The federal elections in Germany will be held at the end of this month (Sept. 2021)
Frau Merkel will retire and Draghi could become the new strong political leader of Europe, partnering with Macron.
We'll see if things are going to be the same or EU will change the rules around subsiding non EU companies.
But it'll eventually happen after German elections, not before.

That is a wild thesis. Merkel's power has very little to do with her personally, but with the biggest European economy she represents.

Because Italy has lost most of the other car market and is the only country in Europe that makes real money with supercars. Literally no other country outside of Italy would have this opinion. > Draghi could become the new strong political leader of Europe Yeah, sorry Italy will not take that position.
