If they show me that this machine will be profitable with the price level, they found that I copy this formula, add Italian design and will release a similar electric vehicle on the market throughout the year...
Sergio Marchionne, the head of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles:
Unlike the head of FCA, the public accepted the new product «with a bang». Three days after the debut, the Tesla company has received more than 300,000 pre-orders for the Model 3.
