Chapter 900: Sautéed When Not Right, The More Red Sautéed (Three and More Requirements)
“ We are still quite small, and even if big car manufacturers are not afraid of us, they should be afraid that their competitors will imitate us.
Our success will cause Toyota to worry about what BMW is going to do and General Worry about what Honda is going to do, which will create an atmosphere of tension that is lagging behind and about to be beaten.
Our role is equivalent to that of a lighthouse, pushing electric cars into the market five or even 10 years early, which could have extraordinary significance in saving our planet.
I had to confess to all Tesla's customers that we were in trouble, not technically, but costly! ”
Andy stood on the podium in the lobby of the Tesla Direct Store, surrounded by a mass-produced Tesla electric overrun, the first of seven limited edition founder V00001, and in the face of the crowded reporters, Andy spoke out about the difficulties Tesla is facing.
“This beautiful guy is a little more expensive than we thought before, so we decided... Roadster will end up priced at $109,000... ”
Andy's words just went down, causing a scene of noise, the whole press conference was instantly messed up, and the former shareholders who had just walked past the fake signing were surprised that Andy's confession was hard to believe that he would announce the price increase directly at the press conference.
“Gentlemen, gentlemen, please calm down... I know it's hard to make this decision and it hurts our loyal customers, and here I can only say again that I'm sorry, I just took over this company, I'm willing to continue to invest more in the future of electric cars, and we're willing to accept refund requests from our booking customers...
At the same time, I hereby announce that the first generation of Roadsters will only sell 2,400 units, and that the order of delivery will be strictly in accordance with our customers' payment schedules, after all, we still have to increase our production.
Someone will ask why Tesla's electric car is chosen, as there seems to be plenty of room for 109,000 car prices. ”
Andy walked back and forth from the podium with a charming smile on his face, looking at the many reporters downstairs, confidently laughing: "Because this two-seat sports car, called Roadster, has a carbon fiber body that accelerates from 0 to 60 miles in less than 4 seconds, and can drive more than 322 kilometers at a time, accelerating from zero to 96.6 kilometers in 4 seconds. And for only $109,000, you can take these two fully powered superruns home! ”
Not only who led the exclamation and applause, but soon the whole direct store clapped. After all, it was amazing how fully powered cars could do this. You know, when General Motors completely retrieved their electric cars and then crushed them, the electric car market turned into a desert, with no one involved.
“Faced with decades of consumer philosophy, it's easy to talk about electric cars to win consumer approval. Our difficulty now is that few people know that global crude oil supply will peak in 2020 and drain in 2050, but almost everyone knows that electric cars have given a bad impression... ”
Ha-ha-ha.
The reporters looked at Andy with a helpless, shrugged look, and naturally they knew that Andy was laughing at the universal, fully recycled, shredded electric car.
“We are pioneers and beacons of industry, for the future of the planet, please allow some of our attempts or failures because our dreams have never stagnated! ”
Andy stood in the middle of the podium with his arms open and a confident smile on his face, and the big screen behind him showed a line of words and a big red ModelS effect diagram, as well as a schematic of the effect of the supercharging station.
“Let's suffocate for dreams together! ”
In a blinding flash of light, Andy's takeover of the press conference was successfully transformed into a brainwashing convention by his propaganda.
Everyone knows that over the next period, Andy Smith and his Tesla electric car will begin to brush shamelessly, because controversy will make the topic hot, more people will discuss it, and Tesla will become the focus of more attention.
However, as Andy thought, regardless of the many questions and ridicules raised by the price increase, Tesla's official website also welcomed the first 30 or so customers to ask for a refund, and he said, "Let's suffocate for dreams together!” It's kind of starting to get all red.
Andy took the time to upload on Facebook some sketches of steel suits he had painted with pencils, sketches of Free City villas and conceptual sketches of ModelS models, beginning to consciously shape himself as a technocrat with a strong interest in industrial design and a rich imagination.
Andy naturally knows better than anyone how much it helps a person to succeed by creating a person. 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 family idol, there will be a lot of people buying and spending money.
“Boss, in addition to 36 booking customers requesting a refund, we have already reached 1,800 bookings and the share of 2,400 Tesla runs will soon be split up! ”
The director of the marketing department was somewhat excited to report at the meeting that these two days were like roller coasters for Tesla, and the big boss' press conference ended and immediately caused a scene of silence in the United States.
Various stories are also raging, especially when Lutz, VP of Technology at General Motors, turns angry at Andy for his ridicule of the General Motor Vehicle project, "Does a start-up company of young people who don't know anything about the automotive business really know how to make a car? ”
The media outlets who watched the noise and the noise were more like chicken and blood. You should know that a lot of the media know Andy's Viper power. It's typical of angry dead people. They want to see Andy in a mouth fight. Especially some journalists started reporting on Tesla's negative news, and they called Andy's S-type effect diagram “a golf ball electric car.”
Andy uploaded a screenshot of the newspaper directly on Facebook, accompanied by "A 250, typical idiot! ”
And the general answer is, "We're not going into the mud like Detroit, we're a technology company in Silicon Valley, agile and innovative. You might want to find a way to keep your job. There are news that General is planning to close 13 factories in North America and withdraw the Pontiac brand. God bless you... ”
Andy's viper mode was turned on, and the map gun was fired directly. Generic, Detroit was all within his range, and the journalists he was spraying, they started spraying apart from YAO, which was like eating a gun for a while.
Of course, the most exciting is Facebook, where traffic skyrocketed, and Tesla Electric Motor Company, which was fired completely by Andy, which sees reports of Tesla almost every day, and a group of environmentally friendly Virgin Marys automatically join the Tesla platform, so that the war begins to spill over into energy issues.
Tesla executives in the conference room all looked at Andy with admirable eyes and smiled lightly. To be honest, they were genuine worshippers. Nima, the boss had turned on the plug-in for the past few days. Not only had there been no problems, but Tesla was getting redder and more and more popular. No wonder the media said that the boss was an obsessive marketing expert. Now Tesla really became a pioneer in the mouth of some environmentalists and a beacon in the electric car industry. Nima said to whom.
“I flew to Phoenix this afternoon. Before I leave, I would like to reiterate that Panasonic's battery price needs to be pressurized, the chassis provided by Lotus will be rigorously quality checked, and the supply of gearboxes will be solved as soon as possible. Our advantages are motor and battery management systems, those cars, the seats, the accessories, whatever the supplier is, we can't really become a car manufacturing company right now. Some things we can make ourselves, some are completely unnecessary, just find the supplier. The rest is what parts we need, let them provide us with. We just assemble the core technology, so that we can not only reduce costs, but also increase capacity!
Also, as I said, except for the limited edition of 8 founders, electric superruns after mass production are delivered strictly according to the scheduled order, and this order cannot be disrupted. The first batch of offline, we hold a delivery ceremony, and it's a lively spot!
That's it, it's the Super Bowl this weekend, and I know you all want to watch it live, but I'm sorry, guys, I really don't have any extra tickets... ”
Ha-ha-ha...
There was a laugh in the conference room, Martin Alberhard looked at the cloudy atmosphere of the meeting, and he felt a lot in his heart. In just a few days, three days, in just three days, this young billionaire easily took control of the whole company, and was initially convinced and respected by the company. It was amazing!
