Elon Musk CH10 2/3

Partners would stamp out the body parts, do the welding and handle the painting, and ship everything to Tesla, where workers would turn the parts into a car.

今天的内容涉及到了一些汽车制造的内容，一般来说一个车厂的所有投资（比如设备，研发等）都是上十亿的，且工艺十分复杂，因此不管是资金还是人力都是需要巨大投资的。下面大家可以感受一下汽车的大概制造流程。汽车工厂通常分为四大车间，分为冲压（Stamping），焊装（Welding），涂装（Painting）和总装（Assembly）四大车间。冲压车间就是把整张的钢板压成不同的形状，这些冲压件在焊装车间被焊接成车身框架，接着到涂装车间就是喷漆上色，最后到总装车间将其他的零部件装配到车身,再进行一系列测试等，一辆车就最终完成下线了。

Thoughts

Like Steve Jobs before him, Musk is able to think up things that consumers did not even know they wanted.

记得一次听《逻辑思维》，罗胖就问，什么是好的产品？有人说，是消费者想要的产品。

但有时候消费者并不知道自己想要什么！所以一个好的产品应该是这样的：当你摆到消费者面前的时候，他惊喜的说：“这就是我想要的东西！”

其实苹果手机和特斯拉都是这样的产品，在他们出现之前消费者哪里想过手机和汽车能做成这样？

这也是创意和创新的一个思考点：给消费者一个他从没有想到过但一见钟情的产品。

Tesla is a place where we are doing things， not talking about things.

He took a Model S prototype home for a weekend and came back on the Monday asking for around eighty changes.

Either you're trying to make something spectacular with no compromises or you're not.
