MTL - Rebirth in a Perfect Era-Chapter 1681 Elon Musk's Tesla plan

After talking with Li Mu, Schwarzenegger couldn't wait for the cooperation with Li Mu after taking office.

期待 He looks forward to the dramatic changes that California will bring under his rule, with gdp growth, reduced fiscal deficits, reduced unemployment, and increased income from foreign trade, finance, and tourism.

Before he talked with Li Mu in detail, although he was full of ambition, he did not have strong confidence, but now it is different. He feels that everything is close at hand.

Li Mu slept at Schwarzenegger's house all night, and the next day was his inauguration in Sacramento.

The inauguration ceremony was held by the Sacramento State Government. According to media reports, this is the inauguration ceremony of the governor who has received the most attention in the United States in the past 50 years. More than a hundred Hollywood stars and California entrepreneurs attended the ceremony. It is said that even Microsoft Founder Bill Gates also came to congratulate.

Even some media have made headlines saying that this is the Oscar of California political circles. At a time, the attention of the people in the country was concentrated in this small city of Sacramento.

Unlike Schwarzenegger who went to the state government early in the morning to prepare for employment, Li Mu has not left Schwarzenegger ’s villa in Sacramento until noon, as is the same as the Celine Dion couple living in this villa. .

Mrs. Schwarzenegger stayed to entertain the guests at home, and in the afternoon, she and Li Mu, Celine Dion and other guests went to the state government to participate in the evening inauguration ceremony.

I know that Li Mu has very few people in Schwarzenegger's house, Elon Musk is one of them.

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

牧 Li Mu wants to know with him the current progress of Tesla.

In order to do online takeaways at Huaxia, Li Mu also specifically asked Tesla's team responsible for battery pack development to come up with a set of lithium battery pack designs suitable for electric vehicles. This requirement is only for the true strength of this team. It is a dimensionality reduction application, so a perfect design scheme has been given soon.

Although the concept of new energy is still many years away from being universally adopted, Li Mu still holds great hope and attention for Tesla. This is not to make money by selling electric vehicles in the future. More importantly, He sees the long-term accumulation of re-energy vehicles in the development.

Companies like Tesla have been researching electric vehicles since the beginning of the 21st century, and almost from scratch, they first studied batteries, then battery management, then motors, electrical controls, kinetic energy recovery, and autonomous driving. Such a strong accumulation can be a ride on the new energy vehicles.

In contrast, after 2015, car brands that have entered the new energy field because of subsidies. Tesla is like a school bull who has solidly read from a kindergarten all the way to a Ph.D., and those half-way monk companies seem to suddenly mix up Semi-illiterate with Pheasant University Diploma.

Those companies in the later generations would just take a car frame, remove the fuel engine, transmission, and fuel tank, and then get a bunch of lead-acid batteries in, and then install an ordinary motor, which can basically be sold out. In Li Mu's view, the car is no different from the old electric car.

The reason why he invests in Tesla now is that he hopes to accumulate a complete set of technical solutions for new energy vehicles in advance, so that he can ensure that the industry is at least five to ten years ahead.

Toyota's advantage in hybrid power has been unparalleled in the world, and it has not been able to be broken by other car companies. This is not because of how difficult Toyota's technology is, but because Toyota has long set up a large number of patents around hybrid technology. A super line of defense.

丰田 In the case of 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.

In the last life, Elon Musk once successfully established such a patent barrier on Tesla, but he himself announced that all patents were made public, and some people praised his generosity, but Li Mu felt that it should be Elon Ma Skele had to do it.

Li Mu has always felt that Tesla's most failed point is that it has been "cloud building cars" in the past few years of development. The so-called cloud building cars, to put it plainly, can't be built.

Elon Musk does not understand the principle of keeping a low profile, and the old Chinese ancestors said that digging deep, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming the king is a good warning for Tesla.

Tesla has just dug two holes, and has not smashed a few grains to show the force of dominance. The concept product came out too early, and the follow-up of mass production is too slow. Give fuel car manufacturers time to play with Tesla.

It ’s like the two countries declared war. Ten years ago, they warned each other. Before ten years later, the army had not assembled, and the other side had already erected a copper wall and an iron wall waiting for you. Even if you did n’t hit him, he would come. you.

At first, Tesla stood on the opposite side of the traditional automobile industry. How much pressure and difficulty can be imagined.

So Li Mu thinks that the disclosure of Tesla's patent by Elon Musk in his lifetime should not be really generous, but actively disperse pressure, attract allies, and even seduce traditional auto manufacturers to turn their backs.

After all, the special situation of new energy vehicles is destined that only by lowering the threshold for other companies to build new energy vehicles will the new energy field thrive. Various new energy vehicles continue to come out, and countries continue to pay attention to new energy. All new energy manufacturers Let's promote new energy and promote new energy together, and no matter how bad it is, everyone can also build charging piles together.

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

反 However, in contrast, this approach of Tesla in the past life has spawned a variety of garbage new energy vehicles, causing a huge waste of resources. It is not necessarily a good thing for the environment.

Therefore, Li Mu feels that if Tesla is in control of himself, then any patent will not be disclosed to friends as long as it is within the protection period. He is sufficiently confident that Tesla can achieve deep digging, Wide accumulation of grain.

Elon Musk did not know that Li Mu had long been concerned about the business he was most concerned about. He had a very long-term plan. When he came to Schwarzenegger's house to "report" to Li Mu, he was still popularizing new energy vehicles with Li Mu. Some basic concepts.

告诉 He told Li Mu that Tesla has made great breakthroughs 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 stopped suddenly.

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

After a moment, Elon Musk said seriously: "High-speed charging technology, our research and development team has considered this direction, but has not yet started investing 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. White-collar workers who work in cities generally do not commute more than 50 kilometers per day. In this way, this Basically, a car can work normally for a week, and it can be charged 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 the Tesla sedan is mass-produced, it will first attach the installation service of the ordinary speed charging pile to the owner. About hours. "

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

"Yes," Elon Musk said, "Basically you can fully charge the electricity in one night."

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

Elon Musk said, "It's easy. Park your Tesla in your garage and drive out your petrol car."

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

Elon Musk said seriously: "General Manager Li, in fact, I understand what you said, we have also carefully considered, in the long run, our development must hope to replace the fuel vehicle instead of supplement."

Speaking, Elon Musk said, "However, from the point of view, we want to directly compete with traditional automobile companies. It is too difficult, so we need to develop steadily."

Li Mu looked at Elon Musk, suddenly a little confused.

Doesn't this buddy use Tesla to impact the entire traditional fuel car industry?

In this case, he should be constantly adjusting his thinking while doing it.

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

牧 Li Mu said: "The positioning of your Tesla sedan now is like the use of fighter aircraft without the aid of a tanker."

"In other words ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ Theoretically, this car can reach 400 kilometers, and the user's maximum radius of movement is 200 kilometers. Just like a fighter without the aid of a tanker, the method of calculating the combat radius exceeds this radius of activity. , Basically means you ca n’t go back to your starting point. "

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

"Our user positioning is an elite group, with high income, high education, and high social responsibility. Just like Toyota Prius, the fuel price in the United States is so low. Americans are generally accustomed to large-displacement fuel cars. The fuel economy of Prius is really money. The impact is not large, so it is not liked by most people. "

"Most people don't like Prius, but it is very attractive to high-income but environmentally conscious elites. You can go to Silicon Valley, Stanford, Harvard, mit, most IT workers and university professors I like small-displacement, low-fuel cars, and the Prius is highly recognized. If you look at it, you may think that Toyota sells all Prius to Internet companies and universities in the United States. "

"So our target users in the first stage are the people of Kai Prius. Their lives are simple, two points and one line, social responsibility is bursting, and they are pursuing energy saving, emission reduction and green travel. If we can provide them with a battery life of three or four A hundred kilometers of luxury pure electric cars will certainly be very attractive to them. "

牧 Li Mu shook his head and said, "Elon, your eyes are too focused now, so it's not good!"
