[MikeC]

So I got part one - a very short read but some interesting info about Martin and the early Tesla days. When do we get part 2?

Pretty interesting read. Anyone know Martin's history with MS?

 

[Jhall118]

WOW! There is an Engineer named "Jon Hall" (my exact name) that works at Tesla. The odds??

I bought part 1. When do I get part 2?

Pretty interesting read. Anyone know Martin's history with MS?

If you go back and search for Martin's username, they had some pretty good discussions here on TMC. When I first signed up I was reading all those threads with David V, Martin, and Martin's wife. It was a really interesting story. They talked about when Martin was forced out of Tesla and how David got sucked into that. You could probably click on David's name and find his posts and then get Martin's posts from those threads.

Mike and anyone else that bought part 1, PM me your email addy and I'll send it over ASAP.

Thanks,

(Aww, give the author a break, show some support and buy a copy instead of share... authors everywhere would be grateful

I *am* the author. :wink: Anyone who bought Part 1 is automatically entitled to subsequent parts as they are released.

Mods, can we move this back thread out of the parts for sale section? The idea was to let people know the book was out and the free blog excerpts available online. I doubt that bit of news will be found here among people shopping for car parts.

Thanks,
DavidV

I second David's motion to move this thread elsewhere. This is the wrong forum.

 

[Doug_G]

We don't permit commercial offerings in the regular forum channels. The book is for sale, so that policy applies. We have to maintain an even-handed policy or we will justly get complaints.

There is a link to this thread in the News section, where David originally posted.

David, fascinating read and well written. Your POV on Tesla's early days provides some amazing insight into the trajectory of the company as it grew -- really looking forward to Part 3 soon...

 

[MikeC]

So how about that part 3? Feeling a little ripped off considering the author stated parts 3, 4, and 5 were almost complete over a year ago.
