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

edit: Ford didn't start Jaguar.

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.

[samhunta]

Fair enough, but how will they ever achieve that without first trying to compete in this outrageously competitive industry?

[fma]

By solving their biggest problems first, rather than create new distractions? Kinda the same thing any company would do.

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

> Tesla does it all.

Except make enough Model 3's, they don't do that.

[wastedhours]

I don't think (although it's complicated), Fiat still owns Ferrari?

[dullgiulio]

I think not. They still have the same (biggest) ownership, but they are not the same company. FCA still owns Lamborghini, though.

[wastedhours]

As mentioned above, Lambo is VW, but FCA retains Alfa and Maserati.

[dullgiulio]

Oops, I meant Maserati.

[ch4ck]

Lamborghini is Audi (VW Group).

Ford sold Jaguar and Land Rover to Tata motors during the recession. They also sold Aston Martin and Volvo.

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...
