It's hilarious reading comments like this.

The car companies that have the supply chains, the know-how, and now the motivation to electrify (the key component previously missing), will somehow defer to Tesla to build their platforms.

If Tesla can figure out how to turn their market cap larger than every other automaker into basic spare parts availability, that will be a starting point.

Also FYI, 2 out of 3 luxury manufacturers you mentioned already do that with established auto manufacturers

The Maserati Ghibli platform can trace its roots to the Chrysler LX platform like most FCA products and is intermixed with Chrysler/Jeep parts

Lamborghinis share platforms with various Audis

Only Ferrari is really putting out really independent platforms
