Ferrari lacks the capital to engage in the EV free for all.

Ferrari lacks the engineering depth and talent to enter the fray.

Ferrari has no choice in the matter

Ferrari is a niche manufacturer and it can ignore what it wants to ignore

However, here's a telling comparison

Tesla Model S PlaidFerrari SF90 Stradale
TypeBattery Electric Vehicle (BEV)Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)
Drivetrain/MotorsAWD / Tri-Motor (AC permanent magnet synchronous motor, carbon-fiber-wrapped rotor, liquid-cooled, with variable frequency drive (1x motor in the front, 2x motors in the rear)All-Wheel Drive / 3 motors (2 front, 1 rear)
EngineNot ApplicableV8 – 90° – turbo – dry sump (mid-engine)
TransmissionFront: Single speed fixed gear, 7.5:1. Enhanced lubrication, Rear: Independent single speed fixed gear, 7.5:1. Dry sump lubrication8-speed, F1 dual-clutch transmission
All-electric range348 miles (560 km) with 21″ wheels / 396 miles (637 km) with 19″ wheels. EPA estimated.15 miles (25 km) using eDrive mode
Acceleration 0-60 mph1.99 sec2.3 sec (2021 model year)
Power1,020 hp986 hp
Torque1,050 lb-ft (Motor Trend)800 Nm (590 lb-ft) @ 6000 rpm
Top speed200 mph (322 km/h)*211 mph (340 km/h)
Torque vectoringYesYes
Launch controlDrag Strip ModeYes, needs 5 secs to activate
1/4-mile time9.23 seconds9.9 sec
Base price$129,990$511,250
Source: Manufacture specs, Car And Driver. *When equipped with the proper wheels and tires (expected availability by fall 2021).

The EV has more power, torque, 0-60, 0-100 than the Ferrari, only lagging by 11 mph in terms of top speed

IIRC, there was a time not TOO long ago when they said they’d never make an SUV as well.

Ferrari, if you build an V12 pick up truck, I’d buy it. You could name it the Greta V12.🤓 Or the AlGore...🤓

“It is the client who must choose if they want an ICE (internal combustion engine), a hybrid or an electric car.” Serving its clients and giving them what they want has long been a successful strategy for the company.

BLASPHEMY! St. Greta is gonna scowl at you so hard...

I know someone who has a couple of Ferraris, a couple of Teslas, a C8 Corvette, a couple or 3 McLarens, a Cadillac, a Harley-Davidson, high-end ski boat, one of those HondaJets like Michael Avenatti had (well MA had two).
My point is that no one who owns a Ferrari has that as their only car. In fact, it is hard (for me) to imagine Ferrari becoming an “also ran” in the EV world after crafting their unique position in the world of motor vehicles.
