After chatting with Li Mu, Schwarzenegger was already impatient for his cooperation with Li Mu after taking office.

He looks forward to the rapid changes in California under his rule, with GDP growth, fiscal deficits decreased, unemployment rate decreased and increased income in many aspects such as foreign trade, finance and tourism.

Before he had a detailed conversation with Li Mu, although he was full of confidence, he did not have strong confidence, but now it is different. He felt that everything was already in front of him.

Li Mu slept at Schwarzenegger's house all night, and the next day, his inauguration ceremony in Sacramento.

The inauguration ceremony was in the Sacramento State Government. According to the media, this is the most popular governor inauguration ceremony in the United States in the past 50 years. More than 100 Hollywood stars and California entrepreneurs attended the ceremony. It is said that even Microsoft founder Bill Gates, headquartered in Seattle, was present to congratulate him.

Some media even posted a title saying that this is an Oscar in California's political circles. For a time, the attention of the people across the country was concentrated on the small city of Sacramento.

Unlike Schwarzenegger who went to the state government to prepare for employment early in the morning, Li Mu had not left Schwarzenegger's villa in Sacramento until noon, and the same was true for Celine Dion, who lived in this villa.

Schwarzenegger's wife stayed to entertain guests at home. She waited until the afternoon and went to the state government to attend the evening inauguration ceremony with Li Mu, Celine Dion and other guests.

There are very few people who know that Li Mu is in the Schwarzenegger family, and Elon Musk is one.

In fact, Li Mu informed him in advance and asked him to come to Schwarzenegger's villa to find him in advance.

Li Mu wants to know about Tesla's current progress with him.

In order to do online takeaway in China, Li Mu also asked Tesla's team responsible for battery pack research and development to come up with a set of lithium battery pack designs suitable for electric vehicles. This requirement can only be regarded as a dimensionality reduction application for the team's real strength, so a complete design plan was quickly given.

Although the concept of new energy is still many years away from global popularization, Li Mu still has great hope and attention to Tesla. This is not to make money by selling electric cars in the future. What’s more important is that he sees the long-term accumulation of re-energy vehicles in the development.

Companies like Tesla have been studying electric vehicles since the early 21st century, and they almost started from scratch, first studying batteries, then battery management, then studying motors, electrical control, kinetic energy recovery and autonomous driving. Only with such a strong accumulation can we stand out in new energy vehicles.

On the other hand, those auto brands that entered the new energy field after 2015 because of subsidies are like a top student who has studied hard from kindergarten to doctoral degree, while those companies that have become monks halfway through are like a semi-illiterate who suddenly gets a pheasant university diploma.

In later generations, enterprises took a car frame, removed the fuel engine, transmission, and fuel tank, then got a pile of lead-acid batteries in it, and installed an ordinary motor, which could basically be sold. In Li Mu's opinion, such a car is no core difference from an elderly electric car.

The reason why he wants to invest in Tesla now is that he can accumulate a complete set of new energy vehicles in advance, so that he can ensure that he can lead the industry for at least five to ten years.

Toyota's unique advantages in hybrid power have never been broken by other car companies. The big reason is not how difficult Toyota's technology is, but Toyota has long established a super defense line composed of a large number of patents around hybrid technology.

With Toyota holding a large number of hybrid technology patents, almost no company can develop a hybrid technology comparable to Toyota without touching the Toyota patent group.

What Li Mu wants to pursue in Tesla is also such a patent barrier.

In his previous life, Elon Musk successfully established such patent barriers on Tesla, but his buddies announced that they would disclose all patents. Some people praised his generosity, but Li Mu felt that it should be Elon Musk's unavoidable.

Li Mu always felt that the most failure of Tesla was that it had been "cloud car manufacturing" in the past few years. To put it bluntly, it was impossible to build it, and it could only be thought about it.

Elon Musk does not understand the principle of keeping a low profile. The ancestors of China said that digging deep holes, accumulating grain, and slowing down the king is definitely a warning for Tesla.

Tesla just dug a hole twice and didn't save a few grains, it showed its dominance. The concept products were released too early and mass production was too slow to follow up. The gap between this gave fuel car manufacturers time to play with Tesla.

It's like the two countries declared war, and they issued a letter of war to each other ten years ago. Ten years later, the army had not yet gathered, and the other party had already raised a wall and waited for you. Even if you didn't go to attack him, he would come to attack you.

At the beginning, Tesla was standing on the opposite side of the entire traditional automobile industry. It is conceivable how much pressure and difficulty were.

Therefore, Li Mu felt that Elon Musk's disclosure of Tesla's patent in his previous life should not be really generous, but rather actively dispersing pressure, winning over allies, and even tempting traditional car manufacturers to reverse the situation.

After all, the special situation of new energy vehicles is destined to be the only way for other companies to build new energy vehicles at that time that the new energy field will flourish. Various new energy vehicles are constantly coming out, and countries are constantly paying attention to new energy. All new energy manufacturers will promote new energy and promote new energy. No matter how bad it is, everyone can still build charging piles together.

Otherwise, if there is only Tesla, a new energy vehicle manufacturer on the market, if he gives him twenty years, he may not be able to solve the problem of building charging piles in first-tier cities in developed and developing countries.

However, in contrast, Tesla's practice in the previous life gave birth to various garbage new energy vehicles and caused huge waste of resources. It may not be a good thing for the environment.

Therefore, Li Mu felt that if Tesla was in charge, then any patent would never be publicly used by its competitors during the protection period. He was confident enough to allow Tesla to dig deep holes and accumulate grain.

Elon Musk didn't know that Li Mu had long been focusing on the business he paid the most and had a very long-term plan. When he came to Schwarzenegger's home to "report" to Li Mu, he was still popularizing some basic concepts of new energy vehicles to Li Mu.

He told Li Mu that Tesla has made a great breakthrough in the management technology of lithium battery packs. Li Mu nodded and said, "Have the supporting high-speed charging technology started to be developed?"

Elon Musk was stunned for a moment.

He looked at Li Mu's eyes. Li Mu captured the message contained in it at a glance, and translated it into almost eight words: "Oh, I'll go, you can..."

After a moment of silence, Elon Musk said seriously: "Our R&D team has considered this direction for high-speed charging technology, but has not yet begun to invest in vigorous research and development."

Li Mu asked him: "Then your future user positioning is the user's second car, and it is difficult to leave the local second car."

Elon Musk nodded and said, "Our car has a range of about 400 kilometers after mass production. White-collar workers working in cities generally have no more than fifty kilometers of daily commuting mileage every day. In this way, the car can basically work normally for one week and charge once a week. As long as charging piles are installed at home, it is basically enough."

Li Mu asked him: "What is the maximum charging power of the charging pile you mentioned in the home installed?"

Elon Musk said: "According to our current plan, once Tesla sedan is mass-produced, it will first come with installation services for ordinary speed charging piles to the owners. The charging technology threshold is not high, and the power is about 5-10 kilowatts per hour."

Li Mu nodded and said, "In this way, it will take about 8-15 hours to fill a Tesla sedan with a battery capacity of 80-100 kilowatts."

"That's right." Elon Musk said: "You can basically charge it in one night."

Li Mu asked him: "What if I want to go to Los Angeles from here? It is said that it seems to have a mileage of five or six hundred kilometers."

"It's simple, park your Tesla into your garage and drive in your fuel car out," Elon Musk said.

Li Mu asked him again: "If you position yourself behind a fuel car, how much room can you have for development in the future?"

Elon Musk said seriously: "Mr. Li, I understand what you said, and we have carefully considered it. In the long run, our development will inevitably be to replace fuel vehicles rather than supplement them."

As he said that, Elon Musk said again: "However, from the moment, it is too difficult for us to directly fight against traditional automobile companies, so we need to develop steadily little by little."

Li Mu looked at Elon Musk and suddenly became a little confused.

Isn’t this guy now that he uses Tesla to impact the entire traditional fuel vehicle industry?

In this way, he should be doing it while constantly adjusting his thinking.

No wonder Tesla was pushed out before the production capacity was solved.

Li Mu said: "You are positioning the Tesla sedan now, like the way fighter is used without the assistance of a tanker."

"In other words, the theoretical range of this car can reach 400 kilometers, and the maximum activity radius of the user is 200 kilometers. Just like a fighter without tanker assistance, the method of calculating the combat radius, exceeding this activity radius basically means that you cannot return to the starting point."

Elon Musk nodded and said, "This is the case at this stage, but our target users at this stage do not have strong demand."

"Our user positioning is an elite group, with high income, high education, and a high sense of social responsibility. Just like the Toyota Prius, the fuel price in the United States is so low, Americans are generally accustomed to large-displacement fuel vehicles. The fuel economy of Prius does not really have a big impact on money, so it is not popular with most people."

"Most people don't like Prius, but it is very attractive to those high-income but environmentally conscious elite groups. You can go to Silicon Valley, Stanford, Harvard, and mit. Most IT workers and university professors like small-displacement and low-fuel consumption cars, and have a very high recognition of hybrid vehicles like Prius. If you go and see it, you may think that Toyota has sold all Prius to Internet companies and universities in the United States."

"So our first phase target users are these Cape Russ people. Their lives are simple, two points and one line, and they have a strong sense of social responsibility. They pursue energy conservation and emission reduction and green travel. If we can provide them with a luxury pure electric sedan with a range of three or four hundred kilometers, it will definitely be very attractive to them."
