“All Our Patent Are Belong To You”
Step 1: Make Roadster and make electric cars sexy.
Step 2: Make Model S and Model X to make electric cars mainstream (Apparently they’re patenting the names Model ‘E’ and Model ‘Y’ too)
Meanwhile, get cousins to start a solar energy company and build an electric charging network throughout US and Europe.
Step 3: Make electric car technology available to all the big car companies. They have no choice but to use it. Not building electric cars would be like Microsoft not getting into the phone market. Not using Tesla’s technology is just plain stupid.
Now that that’s done, look ahead five-ten years. Electric cars slowly dominate the market, and who already has a complete, ready-to-use, supercharging network?
That’s like buying up all the fuel supply when everybody’s riding horses, and then inventing automobile mass production and telling everyone else to follow suit.
PURE GENIUS
