According to Marchionne, making an analogue of Tesla is not difficult at all and requires only 1 year from creation to release.

However, the head of the alliance is not yet going to rush things, as he does not believe that such a car will be profitable with the same price level as Tesla. In particular, Sergio Marchionne does not believe in the profitability of the Model 3 at a base price of 35 thousand dollars.

“If they show me that such a car will be profitable with the price level they have set, then I will copy this formula, add Italian design and release a similar electric car on the market within a year,” Marchionne stated.

Recall that currently Fiat produces an electric version of the compact hatchback Fiat 500.
