After hearing Li Mu criticizing himself for being too focused, Elon · Musk is somewhat embarrassing.

He never thinks that focusing too much is a problem. In his mind, focusing is easier to succeed.

Because focusing, it often means more professional, just like focusing on recyclable launch vehicles and focusing on pure electric vehicles. In his understanding, there is nothing wrong with doing this.

However, in the face of Li Mu, his although did not recognize it, but he did not dare to show it.

He asked Li Mu very humblely: "Chief Li, what do you mean?"

Li Mu said firmly: "The positioning of Tesla should not be the second car of consumers, and it should not be a supplement to fuel cars. It should find a way to become the preferred model for no car owners and a replacement for car owners. Model. "

So, Li Mu said: "If you want to do this, in addition to making capacity reserves in advance, you must start now and find a way to solve the technical problems of fast charging."

The positioning of the Elon · Musk for the Tesla sedan is now a "fighter-style" method of use.

That is to say, 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 plane without the aid of a tanker, the method of calculating the combat radius, exceeding this active radius, basically means There is no way to return to the starting point.

However, he does n’t think there is anything wrong with the combat radius of 200 kilometers, because in his view, 200 kilometers is enough.

However, he is indeed defining the 200 kilometers according to the "user's second car" standard. If the first car or the only car is used, 200 kilometers is not enough. It is not enough to double it.

This is the misunderstanding of Elon · Musk in the early days of Tesla.

He feels that the cost of Tesla is very high, and it must be a mid-to-high-end model. For North American users who like to drive Japanese cars or American pickups, most people ca n’t afford it, but can consume this one. For people with cars, there is at least one car at home, or even more than one car.

Under such circumstances, a 200-kilometer "combat radius" is sufficient.

Moreover, the United States itself is a country that grows on wheels, and the car penetration rate ranks first in the world. They often drive cross-state travel. They may go to Las Vegas, Disney, and Going to the national park several times, under such demand, if there is only one car, the "combat radius" of 400 kilometers is not enough.

After all, the theoretical combat radius of a fuel car is endless. It takes only five minutes to fill a tank of fuel. A pure electric car ca n’t be compared.

So, in his eyes, Tesla is not a product that has to face all car users, and it is already very powerful to eat the high-end user market.

However, he did not know how to tell Li Mu his opinion. He was afraid that Li Mu's position on this matter would be too high to exceed the actual ability and significance of this matter.

looks at Elon · Musk looks like hesitant, Li Mu seriously said: "Elon, we do things together, you don't have to take the entrepreneur's thinking."

Elon · Musk puzzled looks at Li Mu, entrepreneurs do not take the entrepreneur ’s thinking, what kind of thinking does that bring?

Li Mu looks at, he said: "In any industry, the vast majority of entrepreneurs are barefoot, the core of thinking is open source and throttling, accumulation is less, from 0 to 1 is a breakthrough, from 1 to 2 is Development, 10 years in 10 years, even if it is a successful entrepreneurship, just like the saying China, there is no pace, no miles. "

"However, others may need to step forward, do we need it? We ca n’t walk, we ca n’t even run, we can only use flying! So what we have to do is to spend money to buy an airplane, it ’s really impossible to make one. Rocket, and then fly as fast as you can. "

Say, Li Mu gave a slight meal, and said: "You remember, what we have to do is multiplication, not addition. Even if we are not doing well, the whole project will eventually be multiplied by 0, or even by a negative number, I can accept it. And bear the consequences, but I cannot accept our little addition. "

Elon · Musk was slightly startled, and understood the meaning in the words of Li Mu, and immediately said: "Chief Li, I understand, since this is the case, then we will start the development of high-power charging technology as soon as possible."

Speaking, he said again: "My personal idea is to increase the charging efficiency to more than 20 kWh. In this case, the charging time of the user will be greatly shortened. A car can be within four to five hours. Full. "

Li Mu yelled and said: "The idea is right, but the ambition is not enough. If a charging device with a power of 100 kWh or even 200 kWh can be solved in the future, a Tesla can be fully charged in about an hour. , Or replenish 80% of the electricity, it is really not far from Dacheng. "

Elon · Musk said in surprise: "In this case, we not only need to develop fast charging technology, but also make a large-scale optimization and adjustment in the management of the battery pack. Moreover, the charging efficiency of more than 100 kWh will affect the power grid load. It ’s too big. If several charging stations at a time of 10 million are operated at the same time, the power can be equal to that of a community of hundreds of people, and it is difficult to lay a large number of them. ”

Li Mu said with a laugh said: "Since we have installed a normal power charging pile for the user, why do we need to build high-power charging equipment in such places as neighborhood?"

Speaking, Li Mu said again: "High-power charging devices are not used when users go home to rest. It is like a gas station, which supplements energy for users halfway, build them on the highway, Built near hotels, airports, and stations, and even built on popular tourist attractions far from the city. "

Elon · Musk said: "I understand what you mean, but the power supply of this high-power charging pile is indeed a big problem. It is difficult to solve the problem of the power grid alone."

Li Mu said with a laugh said: "In fact, it is not difficult to solve at all. Let the power grid problem be solved by the power company. As long as the power company is profitable, you do n’t have to worry about the rest."

"For example, the electricity price of China is 4 cents per kilowatt-hour. We can charge the owner at a cost of 1 yuan per kilowatt-hour, because it is a super charging station that can quickly extend the battery life halfway, plus super charging. For the additional cost of the station, the user must be able to accept this price. This money, we can not make a penny in the early stage, and give it to the power company, which is equivalent to giving them a high-cost export of electricity. Happy but not good? "

We can use our project to ask him for a subsidy from the California government. "

Elon · Musk lamented: "In this way, the problem of the power grid is really easy to solve, but the cost of R & D, manufacturing and installation of Chief Li, super charging equipment should not be too low. We may build several in the future Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of such equipment, but the difference in electricity price is given to the power company, we have no profit ourselves, such a high cost, no profit, and equipment maintenance, we are difficult to support. "

Li Mu reminded: "The power price difference is given to the power company to encourage them to help us solve the power supply problem. I also said just now that we gave them the price difference in the early stage, but in the middle and later stages, we need to gradually get back Proportion. "

"Do n’t forget that green travel, energy saving and emission reduction are the trends that are admired by governments all over the world. We can go to the local governments to get some policy subsidies and support."

"If nothing else, say California, Schwarzenegger will soon become governor. Before he was elected, he has been vigorously calling for environmental protection issues, and our products are in his arms."

“We can fight for the state government to provide certain subsidies for every user who purchases Tesla in California, and also allow the state government to give us a certain tax reduction, and even allow the state government to waive the consumption tax and electricity on the use of super charging piles. Public career tax; we can also outsource the construction and maintenance of charging piles to a certain company in California, and then help this company to fight for tax subsidies from the state government, so that we can reduce our costs across the board, And it is completely reasonable and legal. "

The various subsidies for previous life new energy are varied. Li Mu although is not directly engaged in the new energy automobile industry, but in the Yanjing, I know a lot.

The state and government attach great importance to environmental protection, so they will give various subsidies to new energy vehicles, subsidies to manufacturers, subsidies to consumers, and even reduction of purchase tax. Li Mu believes that this is not only China, but also A global trend. Now that Tesla is to be at the forefront of the new energy industry, it should strive for subsidies and help from various local governments. In this way, Tesla can take off quickly.

Elon · Musk is shining by the eyes of Li Mu. Chicken thieves like his people never thought that there is an invisible super lever behind Tesla, which can pry huge social resources, but the premise is that Tesla must To develop fast and develop well, otherwise once other companies realize this super leverage, they will surely come by regardless of all the swarms.

Li Mu continues to order him: “I do n’t care what kind of model you are working on, super high-end or mid-high-end. You must thoroughly understand the technology you need and then achieve reasonable dimensionality reduction. For example, you Battery, your motor, your frame and chassis, your electronic control and all electronic system, first 80 points, then do not go from 80 points to 100 points, but from 80 points to 60 points to do. "

"To reduce the technical threshold and cost, and thus reduce the parameters and price of the entire vehicle, from ultra-high-end, to high-end, mid-high-end, and then to the mid-end, if we can build a car with the same price as Camry, A car with almost the same comfort level is about the same price as the Camry. Then we lie down and win. "

Elon · Musk nodded again and again: "Chief Li, I understand what you mean."

Li Mu yelled, said: "Almost next year, I will start to buy one or two car manufacturing companies in China, and then complete the transformation of the production line according to the demand of Tesla. In the future, once our car passes the test, we can immediately Put into mass production. "
