The result of the cost of this tractor divided by cost of a Tesla is somewhat close to the number of screens in this tractor.

Would be amazing if Tesla started building tractors like Porsche and Lamborghini used to. EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Lamborghini https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Lamborghini

  >...Lamboghini used to..." They litereally started as a tractor company, and as I understand it was annoyed at Enzo Ferrari and challeneged himself to making a supercar, and later the "Holy Shit" Countach was born (but the earlier Lambos are really beautiful)

  what do you mean used to? Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear fame has a 2-season show about his farm. In the first episode, he buys a Lambo tractor because "of course he does" type of logic.

    > As a world financial crisis began to take hold, Ferruccio Lamborghini's companies began to run into financial difficulties. In 1971, Lamborghini's tractor company, which exported around half of its production, ran into difficulties. Cento, Trattori's South African importer, cancelled all its orders. After staging a successful coup d'état, the new military government of Bolivia cancelled a large order of tractors that was partially ready to ship from Genoa. Trattori's employees, like Automobili's, were unionised and could not be laid off. In 1972, Lamborghini sold his entire holding in Trattori to SAME, another tractor builder. The name lives on in the ag market, but built by SAME, not Automobili. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Trattori https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Trattori https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAME_(tractors) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAME_(tractors)

      Then you have to also agree that Lamborghini cars are Audis (/Volkswagens), and before that they were Chryslers. > Patrick Mimran sold Lamborghini to the Chrysler Corporation in 1987 for US$25 million.

  Lamborghini still makes them (owned by SAME): https://www.lamborghini-tractors.com https://www.lamborghini-tractors.com There is also a tractor company called FERRARI, but they have nothing to do with Enzo Ferrari as far as I know.

    I believe you are correct about Ferrari: "Ferrari Tractors are designed and built in Italy by the BCS Group." (https://www.ferraritractor.com/faq https://www.ferraritractor.com/faq) English Wikipedia gives up at that point, but itwiki has https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_(azienda) https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_(azienda) Google Translate: "FERRARI of Luzzara (RE) is one of the historic brands in the field of agricultural mechanization. Founded in 1954 as "Officine Meccanica Ferrari SpA", in the period of reconstruction and mechanization of the country, it was one of the most enterprising companies in the agricultural machinery sector." Meanwhile https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari says it was founded in 1939 and doesn't mention tractors at all.

    Ferrari (the car brand) and CNH (Case IH, New Holland) were both under the same ownership a few years back, so in a way you could say they were Ferrari tractors. Seems there has been some changes in the meantime, though.
