Is it? Do people buy a $100K Tesla because the same owner owns a rocket company? Why? I’ve never met anyone who considered a Rolls because the company used to build aircraft engines

Rolls definitely have a prestige factor due to their aircraft engines. And personally when I see Tesla hardware and tech I admire the level of engineering that goes into it and feel that part of the reason it's so good is because there's many shared competencies between the two companies

You know Rolls-Royce the car company and Rolls-Royce the jet engine maker are difference businesses - split apart in 1973

Indeed, Rolls-Royce cars are made by BMW.

Not sure if you are serious. Becuase, yes, that is actually part of it.
