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。
