“…We are still quite small, even if big car manufacturers are not afraid of us, they should be afraid that their competitors will imitate us.

Our success will make Toyota worry about what BMW will do and GM worry about what Honda will do, which will create a tense atmosphere where you will be beaten if you fall behind.

Our role is equivalent to a lighthouse, prompting electric vehicles to enter the market five or even 0 years earlier, which may bring unusual meaning to saving our planet.

I have to confess to all Tesla customers that we are in trouble, not technically, but costly!”

Andy stood on the rostrum of the lobby of the Tesla direct store, beside him was a mass-produced Tesla electric supercar, the first batch of seven limited-edition founder versions v0,000. Faced with the crowded reporters, Andy bluntly spoke out the difficulties Tesla is facing now.

"This beautiful guy is a little more expensive than we thought before, so we decided... the radster will be priced at $9,000..."

As soon as Andy finished speaking, it caused an uproar. The entire press conference scene immediately became messy. The former shareholders who had just signed the contract in a fake manner were a little surprised Andy's confession. It was hard to believe that he would announce the news of the price increase directly at the press conference.

"Everyone, please be quiet... I know it is difficult to make this decision and will hurt our loyal customers. Here I can only say sorry to you again. I just took over this company. I am willing to continue to increase investment in the future of electric vehicles. We are also willing to accept refund requirements from booking customers...

At the same time, I announce here that the first generation of radster will only sell 2,400 units in a limited quantity, and the delivery order will be strictly based on the payment time of our customers. After all, our current production needs to be improved.

Some people may ask, there seems to be a lot of options for a sports car price of 9,000 yuan, so why choose Tesla's electric car?"

Andy calmly paced back and forth on the rostrum, with a charming smile on his face. Looking at the reporters in the audience, he smiled confidently: "Because this two-seater sports car called Radster has a carbon fiber body, which can accelerate from 0 to 0 mph in less than 4 seconds. It can travel more than 322 kilometers per charge, and can accelerate from zero to 9. km/h in 4 seconds... And the price is only 9,000 US dollars, you can bring these two fully electric supercars home!"

It was not just who led the way to exclaim and applause, but soon the entire direct store heard applause. After all, it was so amazing that all-electric-powered cars could do this. You should know that when General Motors completely took back their electric cars and then crushed them to pieces, the electric car market became a desert and no one got involved.

"Faced with the consumption concept that has been formed over the past decades, it is not easy for electric vehicles to win consumer recognition. The difficulty we are now, not many people know that global crude oil supply will peak in 2020 and dry up in 2050, but almost everyone knows that electric vehicles have given people a bad impression..."

Hahaha

The reporters at the audience looked at Andy with helpless shrugging expressions. They naturally knew that Andy was mocking General Motors for all recycled electric cars that were crushed into pieces.

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

Andy stood in the middle of the rostrum, spreading her arms, with a confident smile on her face. A line of words appeared on the big screen behind her, a big red dels-type car renderings and a schematic diagram of the effect of the super charging station.

"Let's suffocate our dreams together!"

Amidst the dazzling flash, Andy's acquisition press conference was successfully turned into a propaganda and hype brainwashing conference.

Everyone knows that in the next period of time, Andy Smith and his Tesla electric cars will start to shamelessly browse the pages, because there will be topics when there is controversy, and topics will become hot topics. As more people discuss, Tesla will also become the focus of more people's attention.

However, just like Andy thought, regardless of the many doubts and ridicule caused by the price increase, Tesla's official website also welcomed the first batch of more than 30 customers who requested a refund. His words "Let's go together and suffocate the dream!" were completely popular.

Andy seized the opportunity to upload some sketches of steel war suits he drew with pencils on Facebook, sketches of Liberty City Villa and concept sketches of dels models, and began to consciously create an image of a technology expert with a strong interest in industrial design and rich imagination.

Andy naturally knows better than anyone else. Creating a good character will help a person's success. The most profitable thing in the future is the fan economy. No matter how bad things are, as long as they are made by his idol, there will be a lot of people buying and consuming.

"Boss, in addition to the three reservation customers applying for refunds, our reservation number has reached 800, and the share of Tesla's 2,400 supercars will be quickly divided up!"

The head of the marketing department reported at the meeting excitedly that the past two days were like a roller coaster for Tesla. The big boss's press conference ended, which immediately caused an uproar across the United States.

Various reports have also been rampant, especially General Motors' vice president of technology, Ruz, retorted angrily because Andy's ridicule of the GM electric vehicle project, "Does a startup composed of young people who know nothing about the car business really know how to build cars?"

The media, who are not interested in the big deal, are even more messing around like a chicken blood. You should know that many media know Andy's venomous skills, which is typical of being so angry that it is not worth the life. They all want to watch Andy verbally fight, especially some reporters have also begun to report on Tesla's negative news, and harshly called Andy's S-shaped renderings designed by Andy "a gorgeous golf electric car."

And Andy directly uploaded the screenshot of the newspaper on Facebook, accompanied by "A two hundred and five, a typical idiot!"

The retort to GM is, "We will not be trapped in the quagmire like Detroit. We are a technology company in Silicon Valley, which is agile and innovative. You should find a way to keep your job first. There is news that GM is planning to close three factories in North America and get the Pontiac brand to withdraw. God bless you..."

Andy started the venomous snake mode and directly activated the map cannon, General and Detroit all entered his gunfire range. The journalists and media who were sprayed by him all started to spray from the air like they had a gun, which was very lively for a while.

Of course, the happiest thing is Facebook, which has increased traffic sharply and Tesla electric vehicle company, which has been completely popular by Andy. You can see reports about Tesla almost every day, and a group of environmentally friendly Virgins will automatically join Tesla, causing the war to spread to the energy issue...

The Tesla executives in the conference room all looked at Andy with admiration with a light smile. To be honest, they were sincerely convinced. Damn, the boss has been using plug-ins these days and is everywhere. Not only has he not made any problems, but he has made Tesla more and more popular and more and more attention. No wonder some media said that the big boss is an awesome marketing expert. Now Tesla has become a pioneer in the words of some environmental protectionists and a beacon of the electric vehicle industry. Who can I reason with?

"I flew to Phoenix City this afternoon. Before leaving, I still want to reiterate that the price of Panasonic's battery must be reduced. The chassis provided by Lotus Company shall be strictly inspected to solve the supply problem of gearbox as soon as possible. Our advantages are the motor and battery management system, the seats and accessories that are needed for suppliers. We cannot really become an automobile manufacturing company now. Some things can be made by ourselves, and some are completely unnecessary. Just find a good supplier. The rest is to ask them to provide us with what parts we need. We only need to assemble core technology, which can not only reduce costs, but also increase production capacity!

Also, I have said that in addition to the 8 founder limited editions, the electric supercars after mass production are delivered strictly in the predetermined order, and this order cannot be destroyed. We will hold a delivery ceremony for the first batch of offline vehicles to make a lively event!

That’s all, this weekend is the Super Bowl, and I know you all want to watch it on site, but sorry, I really don’t have any extra tickets in my hand…”

Hahaha……

A burst of laughter sounded in the conference room. Martin Eberhard looked at the meeting atmosphere that swept away the clouds and felt a lot in his heart. In just a few days, three days, in just three days, the young billionaire easily controlled the entire company and gained initial conviction and respect from the whole company. It was indeed amazing!
Chapter completed!
