The Fiat 500.....its no more important than the Mini, arguably less so.
As for the Muskmobile...............seriously

So it's the British's fault for both the Beetle and the Tesla
The Cadillac was the first car to have "modern" controls which we take for granted.
The Mini was significant for the UK and the Fiat for Italy but it never went to the East or the US like the Beetle
Tesla is still questionable but Elon Musk did raise awareness of our energy consumption and set up an enormous infrastructure that might outlast his car company.
