After chatting with Li Mu, Schwarzenegger ca n’t wait to cooperate with Li Mu's after taking office.

He is looking forward to the dramatic changes in California under his own governance, GDP growth, fiscal deficit reduction, unemployment rate reduction and increased foreign trade, finance and tourism income.

Before talking to Li Mu in detail, his although was full of ambition, but he did n’t have a strong confidence, but now it ’s different. He feels that everything is close at hand.

Li Mu slept overnight at Schwarzenegger ’s house, and the following day was his inauguration ceremony in Sacramento.

The inauguration ceremony was in the Sacramento State Government. According to media, this is the most concerned governor ’s inauguration ceremony in the United States in the past 50 years. More than 100 Hollywood celebrities and California entrepreneurs attended the ceremony. It is said that even the headquarters is in Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft in Seattle, was also present to congratulate.

There are even media titles that say this is the Oscar of California political circles. For a time, the attention of the people of the whole country was concentrated in the small city of Sacramento.

Unlike Schwarzenegger's early departure to the state government to prepare for the inauguration, Li Mu has not left Schwarzenegger's villa in Sacramento until noon. The two of them, Celine Dion and his wife, who live in this villa People are the same.

The wife of Schwarzenegger stayed exclusively to entertain the guests at home. In the afternoon, he and Li Mu, Celine Dion and other guests went to the state government to attend the evening inauguration ceremony.

There are very few people who know that Li Mu is in the Schwarzenegger's house. Elon · Musk is one.

In fact, Li Mu notified him in advance and asked him to come to Schwarzenegger ’s villa in advance to find himself.

Li Mu would like to know with him the current progress of Tesla.

In the past, in order to do online takeout in China, Li Mu also specifically asked the Tesla team responsible for battery pack research and development to come up with a set of lithium battery pack designs suitable for electric vehicles. This demand is for the real strength of this team. Can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction application, so a complete design plan has been given soon.

The concept of although new energy is still many years away from global popularization, but Li Mu still has great hope and attention to Tesla. This is not to make money by selling electric vehicles in the future, but more importantly He looks at the long-term accumulation of re-energy vehicles in development.

Enterprises like Tesla have been working on electric vehicles since the beginning of the 21st century, and almost from scratch, first studied batteries, then battery management, then motors, electrical control, kinetic energy recovery, and autonomous driving. With such a strong accumulation, it is possible to ride the dust on new energy vehicles.

In contrast, after 2015, because of subsidies, the car brands that entered the field of new energy, Tesla is like a academic tyrant who has read a doctor from kindergarten all the way, and those companies who have become monks halfway seem to suddenly mix Pheasant university diploma semi-literate.

The companies of later generations, just take a car rack, remove the fuel engine, gearbox, and fuel tank, and then get a bunch of lead-acid batteries into it, and then install a common motor, you can basically sell it. By the way, in the opinion of Li Mu, such a car is no different from the old electric car.

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

Toyota's advantages in hybrid power have never been broken by other car companies. This is not because of how difficult Toyota's technology is, but because Toyota has long erected a hybrid technology. A super line of defense composed of a large number of patents.

With Toyota holding a large number of hybrid technology patents, few companies can achieve a set of 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.

previous life Elon · Musk has successfully established such a patent barrier on Tesla, but brothers has announced that all patents have been published, and some people praise his generosity, but Li Mu thinks that it should be Elon · Musk Of it.

Li Mu has always felt that the most unsuccessful point of Tesla is that it has been "cloud-made cars" in the past few years. The so-called cloud-made cars, in plain words, cannot be built, and can only be imagined.

Elon · Musk does n’t understand the principle of keeping a low profile, and the ancestors of China said that digging deep into the hole, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king, for Tesla, is definitely a warning.

The Tesla was just dug twice, and the grain did not accumulate a few. It showed the compelling power to dominate. The concept product came out too early, and mass production is too slow to follow up. There is a gap in the middle. , Giving the fuel car manufacturers time to play with the Tesla.

It ’s like the two countries declared war, and the war was sent to each other ten years ago. Ten years later, the army has not been assembled. The other party has erected a copper wall and an iron wall waiting for you, even if you do n’t fight him, he will Want to hit you.

In the beginning, Tesla was standing on the opposite side of the entire traditional automobile industry. It is hard to imagine the pressure and difficulty.

So Li Mu feels that Elon · Musk previous life's disclosure of Tesla's patent should not be really generous, but should actively disperse pressure, draw allies, and even entice traditional automakers to rebel.

After all, the special situation of new energy vehicles was doomed to reduce the threshold for other companies to build new energy vehicles at that time, the new energy field will thrive. Various new energy vehicles continue to come out, countries continue to attach importance to new energy, all New energy manufacturers will come together to promote new energy and promote new energy. No matter how bad it is, everyone can also make charging piles together.

Otherwise, if there is only Tesla, a new energy vehicle manufacturer on the market, giving him 20 years may not be able to solve the problem of building charging piles in first-tier cities in developed and developing countries.

However, this practice of previous life Tesla has spawned a variety of garbage new energy vehicles and caused a huge waste of resources. For the environment, it may not be a good thing.

So, Li Mu feels that if Tesla is under his own control, as long as any patent is within the protection period, he will never disclose it to friends and use it. He has enough confidence to allow Tesla to dig deeper and wider. Grain accumulation.

Elon · Musk did not know that Li Mu had long been concerned about this business that he had paid most attention to. He had a very long-term plan. When he came to Schwarzenegger ’s home to “work report” to Li Mu, he was still popularizing new energy to Li Mu Some basic concepts of cars.

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

Elon · Musk froze.

His looks at Li Mu's eyes, Li Mu captured the information contained in it at a glance, translated almost eight words: "Oh I go, you can ..."

For a moment, Elon · Musk said seriously: "High-speed charging technology, our research and development team has considered this direction, but has not yet begun to invest energy in 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. For white-collar workers working in cities, the daily commuting mileage will generally not exceed 50 kilometers per day. This car can basically work normally for a week, charging once a week, as long as a charging pile is installed at home, it is basically enough. "

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

Elon · Musk said: "According to our current plan, once mass production of the Tesla car will firstly provide the owner with the installation service of ordinary speed charging piles, this charging technology threshold is not high, the power is 5-10 kWh About. "

Li Mu nodded and said, "In this case, it takes about 8-15 hours to fill an Tesla car with a battery capacity of 80-100 kilowatts."

"Yes." Elon · Musk said: "Basically you can fully charge the battery overnight."

Li Mu asked him: "What if I want to go to Los Angeles from here? It is said that there are five or six hundred kilometers in mileage."

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

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

Elon · Musk said seriously: "Chief Li, in fact, I understand what you said, and we have considered it carefully. In the long run, our development will inevitably hope to replace, not supplement, fuel vehicles."

Speaking, Elon · Musk said again: "However, from the current point of view, we want to play against traditional auto companies directly, which is too difficult, so we need to develop a little bit steadily."

Li Mu looks at Elon · Musk, suddenly a little bit lost.

Does n’t brothers have the idea of ​​using Tesla to impact the entire traditional fuel car industry?

In this way, he should continue to adjust his thinking while doing it.

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

Li Mu said: "You are now positioning the Tesla car as if you were using a fighter without the aid of a fuel tanker."

"In other words, in theory, the car can reach a range of 400 kilometers, and the user ’s maximum active radius is 200 kilometers. Just like the fighter without the aid of a tanker, the method of calculating the combat radius is more than this active radius. Basically It means that there is no way to return to the starting point. "

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

"Our user positioning is an elite group, with high income, high education, and high social responsibility. Just like Toyota Prius, American fuel prices are so low, Americans are generally accustomed to large-displacement fuel cars, and Prius ’s fuel economy is truly The impact on money is not large, so it is not liked by most people. "

"Most people do n’t like Prius, but it is very attractive to high-income but environmentally conscious elite groups. You can go to Silicon Valley, Stanford, Harvard, MIT, most IT workers and university Professor, they like cars with small displacement and low fuel consumption, and they have a high degree of recognition for hybrid vehicles such as the Prius. If you go to see it, you may think that Toyota sells all the Prius to the US internet company and university. Here it is. "

"So our target users in the first stage are the people of this group of Prius. Their lives are simple, two points and one line, their social responsibility is bursting, they are pursuing energy saving, green travel, if we can provide them with one The luxury pure electric sedans with an endurance of 3-4 for 100 kilometers will be very attractive to them. "

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Elon, your eyes are too focused, which is not good!"
