Correction: Only Martin Eberhard was "axed", and the reason behind it was that during an investor audit it was revealed that he had been lying about the production costs and the timeline for the Roadster to Elon and the board. He wasn't fired just because the production costs were higher; he was fired for lying to them while the company was nearing bankruptcy. This is why no one else, not even his friend (Marc), left with him. Marc continued to work at Tesla for another year before leaving voluntarily.

Very nice video, I liked background history - great addition. He mixes up some electric things (battery capacity doesnt directly translate to power, "the same" electric motors can have different power output because its mostly how you control them etc) but its good video. I think Kennan needs to drive EVs more just to have more "up to date" knowledge about cars performance (if he wants to talk about newer ones at least)

"Elon was relatively interested in electric vehicles." LOL. He had the exact same idea of rather getting the TZero into production while AC Propulsion insisted in selling an ev-swapped Scion xB and he would have founded a car company himself if ACP hadn't recommended joining forces with Tesla Motors.
@thedumbconspirator4956
Ай бұрын
Actually the founders Matin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning founded Tesla precisely to put something like the T-Zero into production. So when Elon came along and wanted the exact same thing that started Tesla in the first place, it made sense that they recommended he join the team. And then Elon became a massive investor and we know how the rest of the Tesla story goes.

@@thedumbconspirator4956 Sorry, but what is _"Actually"_ about that? Your text is basically summarized by my "exact same idea". My point was that "Elon was relatively interested in electric vehicles." is hilarious considering Tesla as it is today would probably exist (maybe under a different name) the same way without Eberhard and Tarpenning; and might actually have succeeded a bit faster without Eberhard especially.

Because a coupe is relatively limited in demand, they didn't want to start things out with production delays and bottlenecks. Also a sports car would gather more headlines and bring more attention to the brand.

Oh boy, a 1-of-1 Tesla Roadster with exposed raw carbon fiber. And a rebuilt title. This is a car you absolutely can't drive, because the depreciation is unthinkable, and if you ding the carbon body it's all over. And you can't buy as an investment piece either, because no one really knows what it's worth. It's a real shame they didn't make 3000 of these (... that's one Lexus IS 300 SportCross's worth, for those counting) so a few could actually be driven.
