Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna has publicly praised Tesla’s new Roadster, awarding the vehicle a score of 10 out of 10 for both its technology and its presentation. Speaking at an automotive conference, Vigna remarked, “As a European, thank you for showing us that even in an old world, you can still innovate and take risks.”

The endorsement follows Tesla’s unveiling of the vehicle at a SpaceX testing facility, which featured technical demonstrations such as aerial maneuvers using compressed gas thrusters. While Tesla aims for a 2028 market release, Vigna’s comments also highlighted the value of external collaboration in the industry, noting Ferrari’s own partnership with the design collective LoveFrom for its upcoming first fully electric model.
