第十章名字起的很有意思:The Revenge of The Electric Car 。傳統(tǒng)汽車行業(yè)曾經(jīng)以為Tesla不過是個小噱頭,未曾想電動汽車在Tesla的引領(lǐng)下,一雪前恥,傲視群雄。
Tesla異軍突起,處處奪人眼球:性能佳、內(nèi)飾炫,空間大,科技感強,省油省保養(yǎng),炫酷的維修方式,新穎的購車體驗。這些都使得Tesla旗下的Model S成為汽車界的新寵,2012年,被評為“年度汽車”之后, 迅速引發(fā)傳統(tǒng)汽車市場的一陣恐慌。
Musk之前并未涉足汽車行業(yè),雖說初出茅廬,但是他引領(lǐng)Tesla一步步走來,生產(chǎn)出高性能、環(huán)保又炫酷的電動汽車,顛覆了人們多年來對于電動車的偏見。?
Tesla成功的背后,也有其波折的發(fā)展歷程。經(jīng)歷了諸如漲價風(fēng)波、召回事件、甚至打官司。但是這些看似負(fù)面的事件,Musk總是能夠轉(zhuǎn)危為安,甚至錦上添花。
Ever since ,Musk has tried to turn any snafu with a Tesla into an excuse to show off the company attention to service and dedication to pleasing the customer . More often than not , the strategy has worked.?
正如前面章節(jié)中提到,Musk是一個非常樂觀的人。他能夠絕處逢生,就是他總能看到事物向好的一面,甚至將負(fù)面的形勢視為一個機會。例如在Tesla出現(xiàn)一些失誤的時候,他不是逃避,而是把不利因素當(dāng)做展現(xiàn)公司負(fù)責(zé)任形象的良好機會。在“不利”向“利” 的轉(zhuǎn)換過程,需要我們轉(zhuǎn)變思維模式,更樂觀的看待問題,更開放多角度地理解問題。
