American Fortune Life

"... We are still quite small. Even if the big car manufacturers are not afraid of us, they should be afraid of their competitors to imitate us.

Our success will make Toyota worry about what BMW will do, and GM worry about what Honda will do. This will create a tense atmosphere that lags behind and will be beaten.

Our role is equivalent to a beacon, pushing electric vehicles to the market 5 or even 0 years earlier, which may have extraordinary significance for saving our planet.

I have to confess to all Tesla customers that we are in trouble, not technically, but big cost! "

Andy is standing on the podium of the Tesla direct-operated store, surrounded by a Tesla electric supercar production car, is the first batch of 7 limited edition founder version v0000, facing the crowded Reporters, Andy bluntly spoke of the difficulties Tesla is facing now.

"This pretty guy is a bit more expensive than we thought before, so we decided ... the radster price will eventually be priced at $ 99,000 ..."

As soon as Andy's words fell, there was an uproar. The entire press conference scene became messy immediately. The former shareholders who had just signed the contract and walked across the field were a little surprised. Andy's confession was difficult to believe that he would be directly at the conference. The news of this price increase was announced.

"Everyone, everybody, please be quiet ... I know that this decision will be difficult and will hurt our loyal customers. Here I can only say sorry to you again. I just took over this company and I am willing Continue to increase investment in the future of electric vehicles, and we are also willing to accept refund requests from scheduled customers ...

At the same time I announce here that the first-generation radster will only be sold in a limited number of 2400 units, and the delivery order will strictly follow the payment time of our customers. After all, our current output needs to be improved.

Some people may ask, there seems to be a lot of options for the price of 0.9 thousand sports cars. Why choose Tesla's electric car? "

Andy calmly paced back and forth on the podium, with a charming smile on his face, watching many reporters on the stage, smiling confidently: "Because this two-seater sports car called radster has a carbon fiber body, It takes less than 4 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 0 mph. It can travel more than 322 kilometers on a single charge, and it can accelerate from zero to 9. kilometers per hour in 4 seconds ... and for as little as $ 99,000, you can put Take these two fully electric supercars home! "

Not only who brought their hair out of sighs of applause and applause, but applause soon rang throughout the store. After all, electric cars could do that. It was amazing. GM had to take back their electric cars. After being crushed into pieces, the electric vehicle market became a desert and no one was involved.

"Facing the consumer philosophy that has developed over decades, it is not easy for electric vehicles to win consumer acceptance. Our difficulty now is that not many people now know that the global crude oil supply will peak in 2020 and dry up in 2050, but almost everyone Everyone knows that electric cars have made a bad impression ... "

Hahaha

The reporters looked at Andy with a helpless shrug, and they naturally knew that Andy was laughing at GM's electric car that had been recovered and crushed into pieces.

"We are pioneers and beacons of the industry. For the future of the earth, please allow us some attempts or failures, because our dreams have never stagnate and dried up!"

Andy stood in the middle of the podium with his arms widened and a confident smile on his face. The big screen behind him showed a line of characters and a big red dels-type car rendering and a super charging station rendering.

"Let us together, suffocate for dreams!"

In a blind flash, Andy's acquisition press conference was successfully turned into a publicity hype brainwashing conference.

Everyone knows that in the next period, Andy Smith and his Tesla electric car will start to shamelessly brush the page, because there will be topics that are controversial, and topics that will become hot topics. With more, Tesla will become the focus of more people's attention.

However, just like Andy thought, regardless of the many questions and ridicule brought about by the price increase, Tesla's official website also welcomed the first batch of more than 30 customers who asked for refunds. His phrase "Let us together, Stifled by dreams! "Began to become popular.

Andy uploaded the sketches of some steel suits drawn by pencil, the sketches of the Liberty City villas, and the concept sketches of the dels model on Facebook, without delay, and began to consciously shape himself with a strong interest in industrial design. Powerful image of science and technology.

Andy naturally knows better than anyone, how well people have been created, and how much they can help a person's success. The most profitable future is the fan economy. No matter how bad, as long as it is made by his idol There are a lot of people buying and spending.

"Boss, in addition to 3 scheduled customers requesting refunds, our reservations have reached 800 cars, and Tesla's share of 2,400 supercars will soon be divided up!"

The head of the marketing department reported with excitement at the meeting. For these two days, Tesla was almost a roller coaster. The press conference of the big boss immediately caused an uproar in the United States.

Various reports have also been made, especially GM ’s vice president of technology Luz resentment because of Andy ’s mockery of the GM project. Do you know how to make a car? "

Seeing the liveliness is not a big deal. The media are playing tricks with chicken blood. You must know that many media know Andy's viper skills. It is a typical mad person who does not pay for his life. Some reporters have also started to report negative news from Tesla, referring to the s-shaped renderings designed by Andy as "a gorgeous golf electric car".

Andy uploaded a screenshot of this newspaper directly on Facebook, accompanied by "a two hundred and fifty, typical idiot!"

The response to GM is, "We will not sink into a quagmire like Detroit. We are a Silicon Valley technology company, agile and innovative. You still have to find a way to keep your job. It is said that GM is planning to close 3 North American companies. The factory and the exit of the Pontiac brand, God bless you ... "

Andy opened the poisonous snake mode and directly opened the map cannon. GM, Detroit all came into the range of his artillery, and the reporters and media who were sprayed by him started to take a shot. Squirt, for a while, lively.

Of course, the happiest is Facebook with a sharp increase in traffic and Tesla's electric car company that has been thoroughly heated by Andy. You can see reports about Tesla almost every day, and a group of environmental protection mothers automatically join the Tesla platform, let the war spread to energy issues ...

The Tesla executives in the conference room looked at Andy with a smile on his face with admiration. To be honest, they are sincere worshipers. Nima, the boss has opened the plug in the past few days. People are embarrassing everywhere, not only did not cause problems, but made Tesla more and more popular, more and more attention. No wonder some media said that the big boss is a superb marketing expert. Now Tesla has become some The pioneers in the mouth of environmentalists have become the beacon of the electric vehicle industry, who Nima justified.

"I will fly to Phoenix this afternoon. Before I leave, I still want to reiterate that I have to lower the price of Panasonic ’s battery, and perform strict quality inspection on the chassis provided by Lotus. We will solve the problem of gearbox supply as soon as possible. We The advantage is the electric motor and battery management system. We ca n’t really find a supplier for those seats and accessories. We ca n’t really become a car manufacturing company. Some things we can make ourselves, and some are completely unnecessary. Find a good supplier. The rest is to let them provide us with whatever parts we need. We only need to assemble the core technology. This will not only reduce costs, but also increase production capacity!

There is also what I said. Except for the 8 founder limited editions, the electric supercars after mass production are delivered in strict accordance with a predetermined order. This order cannot be disrupted. The first batch of offline people held a delivery ceremony. Hilarious!

That's it. This weekend is the Super Bowl. I also know that you all want to watch it on the spot, but I'm sorry everyone, I don't really have extra tickets in my hand ... "

Hahaha ...

There was a burst of laughter in the conference room. Martin Eberhard looked at the sweeping atmosphere of the meeting and felt a lot in his heart. It was only a few days, three days, just three days, this young billionaire The millionaire easily took control of the entire company, and was initially convinced and respected by the whole company. It really is amazing!
