Uhh, maybe I missed it ... but I don't believe Martin actually says 'Tesla' in that video.
Good one!

Yes, I had noticed that too.
If you want to hear him say say TeSSla:

Well, I'm also curious to hear more about it than just the date. Unless it's something confidential or so. In any case, "Tesla" was surely inherited rather than re-invented. In that sense, the current team has the "right" to choose a pouncification as much as anyone else.
Elon Musk is at once compelling and frightening. The fact that he exists and is successful is both astounding and revealing. We're obviously much more mortal than this man. Consider fear. The scariest thing we can experience in life is to know what we're getting into. Now that Elon has graduated his naiveté most of us would expect he'd move on to sure things, but the abyss and party trays of ground glass beckon, as exemplified by his obsession with the greatest and most dangerous blackness of all. This is a man who truly knows that happiness is not an objective. It's a distraction that happens along the way. I am, by comparison, a very lazy man, content to sit back, clap and whistle as Elon Musk revolutionizes most anything of interest to me. Wake me up if he does anything unexpected.
I love Elon from the most remote engineering lobe of my brain. He's brought back the scary master inventor meme for real. I thought I'd need a 100-year time machine to revisit that vibe, but heck, he does it every day.

What strikes me most is he's a hardcore engineer that stayed a hardcore engineer even while leading his company after pure startup mode. I can't think of any other tech company has done that. Lots have had engineers found things (Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc), but transitioned to a non-engineering role once the company got moving.
I have no idea where he finds the time. Good engineering takes really dedicated blocks of uninterrupted mental time.
I like how he calls himself a "reluctant CEO". I bet that attitude is partially how he's managed to stay an engineer.

Are you saying you are seeing the german letter for 'sz', or that you are not?
The proper glyph was there. If the web used platform encodings instead of Unicode, the likelihood of that happening would have been somewhere between slim and none. Mojibake wouldn't have been nearly as funny ;-).
