Chapter 1645: Hatred of Pressing the Golden Thread Every Year

"This is the real supercar, and this is the ultimate embodiment of future technology." CEO Dominic Fang said at Tesla's super large booth at the Shanghai Auto Show.

Damn it, is this a Tesla? No kidding, this is an Aston Martin, okay? Electricity?

you sure?

"Mr. Fang, is this a concept car? Or?"

“No, it’s not, it’s going to be a production car.

Of course, the initial production volume will not be too much. I hope you can understand that this is a supercar that can reach a speed of 100 per hour in 6.5 seconds. It also has a range of 500 kilometers.

As for the company you just mentioned, they are just a traditional car company that is about to go bankrupt. Without government subsidies, they would have gone bankrupt ten years ago. And we, we are the porters of technology.

Tesla, this represents the future and technology. In the near future, our boss plans to send a supercar to the moon, so don’t compare us with those poor people. "

"Bang, bastard, what do you think you are?" On the banks of the Detroit River, here is the world-famous Motor City. Although it seems unhealthy now, it still has its own arrogance. The tallest building in the city, a 47-story building, is the American headquarters of General Motors, the world's largest automobile company.

It has to be said that William White has a very venomous tongue, so there are not many good people under his command. Speaking of electric vehicles, General Motors' tragedy is indescribable. How can I put it? There is nothing more painful than this for a man.

General Motors' electric vehicle project began in 1991. It should be said that when Tesla brazenly regarded itself as a pioneer, other people's projects had already started.

EV-1 is General Electric’s electric vehicle. Not only mass production was achieved, but nearly 3,000 were produced.

This is actually a very high start. Tesla has been struggling until now. Before this supercar that looks like an Aston Martin appeared, what they created was actually a golf cart. It's that kind of little turtle with a speed of about 20 kilometers per hour. It's not as good as other people's Fiat Niu 13. It's just garbage to a certain level.

If that's just the case, there's nothing to say. You study yours and the general study the general. Anyway, both of you are rubbish, there is no way to say who is more rubbish.

The turning point came last year. The EV-1, a waste with a range of only 140 kilometers, was simply bad to a certain extent. Forget it if you can't make money. Expensive maintenance costs and poor reputation finally made GM lose all patience.

The project was disbanded and the product was recycled, under the spotlight. Determined to destroy all EV-1.

Well, of course, what these guys didn't know was that William White had two brand new ones in his private garage just to disgust them in the future.

At this point, things started to smell like conspiracy.

Alcoconi, the EV-1 project engineer, was not reconciled and decided to start his own business.

But, the technical skills of the engineering dog are very good, but the standard of running the company is too bad. It doesn't take much time at all, and this guy just quits.

If you don’t have money, it’s useless to have ideals. The wings of your dreams are destined to be broken.

This guy actually didn't know that William White had already been eyeing him. Alcoconi is about to die, and at this time there is another person who does not believe in evil. Martin Eberhard, a software engineer in Silicon Valley, decided to join the team. After spending two hundred thousand dollars, they got a golf cart with a range of 480 kilometers.

Then, they naturally met the rich man William White. Well, don't talk about it. I'm going to invest 10 million U.S. dollars. You all will come and work for me. Tesla's previous project team will be disbanded and you will be fully responsible for it.

It must be said that William White's attitude towards his partners is very arrogant.

If fifty doesn't work, just one million; if one million doesn't work, add half a million more. In short, under the offensive of his cash bullets, the two guys with ideals and no money quickly fell to their knees.

Electric cars built in Detroit have limited range, mediocre performance and average looks. Tesla is built for people who love driving. We are not seeking to minimize the cost of use, but to pursue better performance, more beautiful appearance, and more attractiveness.

As for the price, this is a limited-edition supercar, and the standard model is priced at US$200,000.

"Damn it, this is really a fool's errand, Charlie, do you think it's possible?" Of course Charlie Munger knows what Buffett is talking about. This is really bullshit. William White has retired from the world, but there is a legend about him in the world. .

"Warren, it doesn't matter what I think, GM is in great disgrace this time.

do you know? If we trace back to the origin, Tesla actually inherited the EV-1's lineage, and now he is using GM to attack it. This is really insignificant. "

"Hehe, what's the matter? When did William White have any sense of moral integrity? He wants General to come out and start a quarrel with him.

In this way, this is an IPO project. It won't take too long for Tesla to increase capital and expand its shares. If possible, it may be split. "Thinking of this, Buffett no longer hesitated. If William White engages in private placement, Hathaway must participate in a share.

I don’t know whether the car is good or not, but there is no need to doubt the ability of this promotion. There are topics, grievances, and vulnerabilities. As long as William White has this need, hype is not a problem at all.

Tsk tsk, GM is really a little frustrated. No matter what you do, the first impression of rice bugs and trash will never be wrong.

Buffett is very clear that the basis for long-term investment in Tesla does not exist, but in terms of short-term returns, this is an excellent project. Needless to say, the biggest venomous speaker is still on vacation. If you wait for him to stand up and start a fight, Tesla's popularity will skyrocket.

As a general target, Buffett shook his head and said, Damn, you can't take any advantage at all. Gee, I just don’t know how real this project is. It’s impossible for a guy like William White to let others take advantage of it.

"There are so many cars there. There are two General Motors EV-1s. I didn't mention it. Each person can go out with one car."

Well, my personal suggestion is that it is best not to drive out of the Isle of Wight. Without a maintenance team of thirteen people, this car cannot be driven out at all. "

"Fuck, don't make trouble, I haven't lived enough yet."

William White didn't care about Jason Gao's complaints. Of course he knew it wouldn't be produced. The current Tesla electric concept car is actually just a concept. Not to mention that the acceleration is not that fast, the battery life is not that high, and even the adjustment of the transmission has not been completed.

But so what?

The acceleration performance was indeed photographed at the test track. According to computer calculations, the battery pack can theoretically reach 500 kilometers.

Damn it, how many are there now?

One hundred, under certain circumstances.

If the outside world knew the true situation of this guy, they don't know whether they would vomit blood.
