唠叨两句:

His job would be to breathe new life into the car’s early designs and, if possible, turn the Model S into an iconic product.

von Holzhausen设计了今天的Model S 95%的部分,和Musk一起完成了Model S。在考虑建厂量产时,机缘巧合聘请了O'Connell,获得了Diamler和Toyota的订单,随后Diamler入股10%$50 million,政府给予贷款$465 million,获得Toyota合作伙伴廉价的生产线转让,以及后来IPO的成功。

Flush with funds,Musk开始了Model S新的研发(比如falcon-wing door)。这本书读到这里,想到了Steve Jobs很多次,当然书中也提到多次(这里又一次提到两个人都能think up things that consumers did not even know hey wanted),两个人真的很像(Musk, though, approaches everything from a Platonic perspective.)

PS谢谢Eric昨天的建议,今天写笔记时特别注意了下。虽然多花了很多时间,但是收获很多,估计会越来越熟练的。
