I was shocked this afternoon to see this interview with JB in today's NY Times Week in Review. catching-up-with-j-b-straubel They do this feature every Sunday with a unique individual, often an artist or writer. This was a pleasant surprise to see someone who I was familiar with in this space, and a great jacket he has on!
Good article, interesting that he mentioned he's reading the Steve Jobs biography as I see a lot of parallels between the Apple approach and Tesla approach to disrupting an industry.
Yes, and no. I definitely like that he finishes the cars, or the whole team does. I do really like what he is getting at here - the joy of the process! Not just the owning or having something. I also really liked this quote "I can drive in the car for like eight hours without any music on. It horrifies people. Silence is awesome. You can just sit there and think and work through your problems."
