It was Martin Eberhard who asked Martin Eberhard, and after confirming that he was accepted, he quickly stepped into the role.

"Yes," facing the other four partners, Feng Yiping once again started his own sales.

"When a new car that meets all of our requirements comes on the market, we will face another very real problem, which is charging,"

"Isn't it possible to solve the problem with the charging facilities at home?" asked Mark, who also wanted to brush up on the storage zài.

"Owners definitely have the need to go long distances, for example, from San Francisco to Los Angeles, and charging halfway through is a problem," Straw said.

This is also the problem he encountered at the beginning, the electric Porsche he he modified, the range is only 30 kilometers, but the competition venue is far away in Oregon, if you want to drive over, it is obviously impossible, what about consignment, the cost is too high......

However, this naturally did not bother him.

He bought a rear-wheel drive Volkswagen with a good engine for $500, sawed off the back half of the engine and drive wheels, installed it behind the modified electric Porsche, and re-installed the control system so that he could control the engine and rear wheels of the Volkswagen behind the Volkswagen while sitting in the Porsche cab.

In this way, he let a Volkswagen drive his electric Porsche from Silicon Valley to Oregon.

Well, when Feng Yiping heard about this, he didn't admire his whimsy and ability to turn whimsy into reality for the first time, but sighed that the American traffic police uncle was so atmospheric and humane, and actually let such a four-wheel car with a total of six wheels go on the road.

"There is no problem with long-distance driving of petrol bullet trains, there are gas stations everywhere, so if the electric car wants to drive long-distance without worries like petrol bullet trains, we must build charging stations, even if it is just for our own users,"

"It's necessary, so you mean, we're going to set up a company that operates charging stations?" Musk asked.

"I want to make the charging station a unique advantage for us,"

"The electric vehicles we have developed, adhering to the concept of environmental protection and energy saving, are also aimed at those high-income people who pay attention to environmental protection, then I think, our charging stations, can we also rely on this aspect, using new energy, for example, I just went to ⊥ two days ago, dǐng⊥diǎn⊥ Xiao ⊥ said, .》.o▼s_(); Stanford's solar fleet, our charging stations, can we use solar energy?"

"Technically, this shouldn't be a problem," Straw said.

"It's a really good idea," Musk is also excited.

When he was in college, in addition to wanting to explore space, he was also worried about this problem, and the petrochemical energy would run out one day, so it was a feasible solution to turn all fuel vehicles into electric vehicles and use solar energy to provide electricity for society.

"If our charging stations also use clean energy sources such as solar energy, it will further strengthen our company's environmental image,"

"This, I think it's no problem, the charging problem is originally one of the problems we want to focus on diǎn," the more Musk looks at Feng Yiping now, the more he feels that he is his bosom friend, and he really hates to see each other!

"I also hope that in the future, our solar charging stations can be charged for free for all our users, and I think such conditions should bring us more buyers,"

Even Musk opened his mouth wide when he heard this.

Feng Yiping enjoyed his surprise.

"Of course, if all the regions in the world that have bought our electric cars have built such charging stations and charged all our users for free, this is obviously not a small investment, so I feel that it is necessary to set up a separate solar company and let it operate in the market, which can not only promote the sales of our electric vehicles, but also make blood itself,"

"This is another plan of mine, if a few people don't support it, it doesn't matter, it's just not to make money, even if I invest alone, I have to do something like this,"

"I support," Musk stood up first, "whether in terms of social significance or economic significance, sustainable energy such as solar energy is worth our investment, and I believe that as long as the solar panels we develop have a high conversion rate and generate profits, it is certain, I believe that our charging stations will not only meet the charging needs of car owners in the future, but also sell the inexhaustible electric energy back to the grid,"

"Moreover, solar energy companies and electric vehicle companies can promote each other and produce the effect that one plus one is greater than two,"

"Feng, it seems that you have really done a lot of useful thinking on related issues, and I personally admire it very much,"

"Of course, Feng, I still build yì, can add this part of the cost to the overall cost of the car,"

In fact, Feng Yiping is also generous, the establishment of Tesla, he has such and such sheep considerations, objectively it will indeed have a good driving effect, but the wool is out of the sheep, this is an objective economic law

"Elon, what you said is reasonable," Feng Yiping diǎn head, "This is just my idea, solar charging station and free charging, I hope to do these two things, and the other details can be slowly improved in the future,"

"I also fully support," Straw applauded.

Martin was only one step behind him, and Mark and the two of them fell behind, "Feng You's idea is very good, I support it unconditionally,"

"I raised my hands in approval," Mark said with a laugh.

"Thank you for your support, then, in the general direction, all five of us have reached an agreement, the next thing is about investment, or, give everyone three days to prepare, how about it?"

For Feng Yiping, there is no problem in deciding the amount of investment now, because he has not yet started those acquisition projects, and he is now very well funded.

But the others are different.

The current Musk is not the later Musk.

He got a total of $180 million from the sale of Papa last year, which is a lot, but he invested $100 million in the establishment of SPA, and this company, also in the short term, will not create any profit for him, but will only spend money.

Other than that, he doesn't have any other companies at the moment, and the money he has left, plus some possible financing, should be less than $100 million.

Straw, he didn't work for a few years, although he sold some patents, but the profit was limited, Feng Yiping estimated that he could personally use the investment funds will not be too much, a few million is very remarkable.

As for Martin and Mark, if I remember correctly, in the original time and space, Musk invested more than 6 million or more than 7 million US dollars in 04, that is, next year, and became Tesla's largest shareholder and chairman of the company, so the initial investment of the two of them should be less than 5 million US dollars.

And this money should be the maximum amount they can invest, because when Musk took over Tesla, they were all unable to sustain themselves and were about to go bankrupt.

Therefore, Feng Yiping is very confident and locks his shares in this newly established company at more than 5%.

"Okay," this time, Martin took the lead, but he immediately felt that this first was actually better than not grabbing.

Taking the lead on this issue seems to be an indication of his lack of strength.

Fortunately, the other three didn't think much about it, and it is natural to be cautious about such an investment.

"Feng, I sent you an email with some questions that I thought of and refined last night,"

"Okay, I'll see right away, let's go, is it still the restaurant from yesterday?"

"No, I've already informed the crew, as soon as I arrive, I'll take off immediately, lunch will be solved on the plane, the company has just been established, there are too many things, Tesla's preliminary preparations, mainly depends on you, by the way, the name you took, first-class great," he said with a thumbs up and a smile.

"Hehe, this one is very simple, electric car, it's easy to think of this name, believe Martin, you, think so,"

When Martin heard Feng Yiping's words, he thought too much about it again, did Feng know that we also wanted to register the Tesla trademark?

"I thought about it two years ago, it's not easy," Musk felt that he had gained too much from this trip to Silicon Valley, so he has been smiling all the time, "After everything is decided, you and everyone are welcome to come to Los Angeles and have a look at the spa,"

"Definitely, I've always been interested in the technology of space exploration, goodbye Elon, looking forward to our next meeting,"

I just hope that the next time we meet, you won't fight with me for control.

Actually, he really has diǎn worried about this problem now. (To be continued.) )
