Unparalleled True Technology

The scope of Silicon Valley is very large. In addition to the clusters of high-tech industrial companies, the surrounding supporting facilities are actually very good.

On a wide road comparable to running, the third pure electric mass-produced four-door coupe launched by Tesla is speeding past at a very high speed.

The driver of this Model-S is very young, only in his twenties. At this age, there are only two possibilities for buying a top-of-the-line Tesla Model-S that costs as much as $120,000.

One is that he himself is very capable of making money, and the other is that his parents are very capable of making money.

The explosive music in the car suddenly disappeared, and a very crisp electronic female voice sounded.

"Master, the person named LYGJ in your address book classification list 'idiot' has sent you a Facetime video communication request."

The young man blew a whistle, and after a cool roar, he said loudly, "Penny, answer the phone for me."

Even though he has been using this Tesla Model-S for a long time, and even named the Siri voice assistant on this car the name of his dream lover, whenever Siri uses such a sci-fi way to remind him that his mobile phone has Calling made him feel very cool.

The owner's call, coupled with the 17-inch large central control screen in the cab, which can be compared to the first tablet computer iPad launched by Apple, made this young man feel as if he was already living in the future.

On the screen of the first-generation iPhone placed on the armrest box, a picture of the video call being connected appeared, and a white youth of the same age almost stuck his face to the screen.

"Idiot, you are really slow today, do you know that all of us are waiting for you?"

Accompanied by these words, there were also noises from the surroundings.

The young man who was called an idiot did not show any anger, but sneered: "I have decided, I will turn around and go home to sleep now."

Hearing the young man's decision, the young man on the other side of the phone begged for mercy immediately.

"I was wrong, I really realized my mistake, all of us realized our mistake. Come on, honey, if you don't come, it's really hard for us to jump in line to buy a Model -S."

The young man who was driving smiled triumphantly,

Said: "I asked you to buy a Model-S with me earlier. You said that a pure electric car has no power at all. Didn't you also say that there is no street noise when you step on the accelerator, so it is absolutely impossible to buy a Model-S?"

The young man on the other side of the video call said regretfully: "At that time, we always felt that Tesla's press conference was a scam, and the Model-S was not that powerful at all. But after who let you buy it, every day in our Dangling in front of me, I passed my Lamborghini at the start. Honey, come on, we have been waiting at the gate for a long time."

Hanging up the phone proudly, the young man who was driving felt great.

The time came to May of 2010, and two months have passed since Tesla Model-S, the third mass-produced pure electric vehicle in the world, was officially launched.

The first purely electric mass-produced car in history has already become history, and it has declared its own death sentence in the last century. Even, for a long time, other automakers were reluctant to launch their own pure electric vehicles.

The second mass-produced model of pure electric vehicles is the convertible coupe launched by Tesla belonging to Elon Musk.

But because the initial price was 100,000 U.S. dollars, it was finally found that the cost of each car reached 120,000 U.S. dollars. Elon Musk was beaten by angry Tesla users and fainted on the spot. Tesla has languished since then.

In the eyes of car lovers all over the world, the first successful pure electric car in the true sense is Tesla's hot-selling Model-S.

In just two months, the order volume has exceeded 25,000. But until now, Tesla has only delivered 6,000 vehicles, because the factory that Tesla obtained from Sequoia Capital has not been able to officially produce cars until today.

Although starting today, the production of Tesla Model-S has increased to 20,000 per month, and the production capacity will increase by 50% again next month. But Tesla's Model-S is still in short supply, at least for the next month's production capacity, it will be difficult to meet the number of cars that Tesla currently owes users.

Being able to produce 20,000 cars does not mean that 20,000 cars can be delivered to users in the first time, because it is a pure electric car and loaded with voice assistants like Siri, so every Tesla The test time of Model-S has reached 3 hours.

Even though Tesla has a large number of employees now, there are too many users who can't stand the car they want to buy. Moreover, when Tesla's production capacity increases, many users who like Tesla but don't like ordering queues will choose to buy Tesla Model-S because of the appearance of existing cars.

At this time, Tesla launched a sales strategy that many people hate, but some people are very happy. That is, users who have successfully purchased a Tesla car each have two recommendation quotas, allowing their relatives and friends to get 100% of their own special quota within half a month after paying the full amount. Tesla Model-S.

The beggar version of Tesla is priced at 75,000 US dollars, while the top version is priced at 120,000 US dollars. Those who can spend so much money to buy a pure electric car are definitely not short of money. For these people, it is not unacceptable to pay the full amount half a month in advance.

What these rich people care about is that they have to get the Tesla Model-S in advance.

And now the young man who is driving a Tesla Model-S to Tesla's headquarters in Silicon Valley is naturally going to the scene to give his recommendation quota to two of his friends who want to buy this car.

Rich people can have poor friends, but rich people definitely have rich friends.

"I really don't know what Tesla thinks. Although we really like this kind of car, will this official line-jumping behavior really affect Tesla's future?"

The young man thought for a few seconds, then gave up thinking about the question, and then said loudly, "Penny, play the music."

The explosive music sounded again, and the hot red Model-S rode away from the dust, throwing off countless fuel cars and rushing to Tesla's headquarters.

At this time, people from Sequoia Capital also arrived at Tesla's headquarters.

"Although we do not have the decision-making power of the company, we believe that this sales strategy is wrong and has a great impact on the future of the company."

Tesla's current shareholders are only Wen Ming and Sequoia Capital, and Sequoia Capital, which only has a 20% stake, has no right to speak in Tesla. But even if they don't have the right to speak, they cannot be prevented from giving their opinions.

Cage, who was in charge of Tesla, said indifferently: "Need I remind you of your rights and interests in Tesla? Moreover, in just two months, Tesla's valuation has changed from more than two hundred The US$100 million has been raised to more than US$50 billion, and your investment has doubled, so what’s your opinion?”

The representative of Sequoia Capital was not really angry. The reason why he came to comment was also related to the internal analysis of Sequoia Capital. Therefore, it is even more impossible for him to quarrel with Cage.

"Mr. Cage, I think you misunderstood me. What I mean is, if Mr. Wen Ming is short of cash flow now, we at Sequoia Capital can continue to invest in Tesla or even Apple."

The representative of Sequoia Capital said sincerely: "Trust us, our valuation of Tesla and Apple will definitely satisfy Mr. Wen Ming."

Cage sighed helplessly, yes, by doing this, everyone will know that Wen Ming is short of money. )!!
