Porsche CEO Criticizes Tesla Roadster Flying Stunt

Porsche AG boss Michael Leiters criticized the flying car demonstration by rival automaker Tesla during a conference in Berlin on Wednesday. Speaking after both companies unveiled their latest concepts on October 15, Leiters stated that Porsche aims to steer clear of effects and shows while focusing on tangible technical innovation. He noted that the two brands target different customer segments, contrasting Tesla's compressed-air thruster stunt with Porsche's Mission S concept car designed for hybrid or combustion powertrains.
