先附一個書友寫的很棒的Model S介紹鏈接：
http://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/7gv3Wmqsr3WM5uWOW7HYzw
嘮叨兩句:
Tesla was, in effect, willed into existence by Musk and reflects his personality as much as Intel, Microsoft, and Apple reflect the personalities of their founders.
前面介紹了Model S的主要概況，以及銷售時的trick和Musk應(yīng)對產(chǎn)品問題提供的完善的售后欺劳。后面講了Tesla 與Fisker的競爭泪幌，這點(diǎn)很像當(dāng)年的蓋茨受喬幫主圖形操作桌面的啟發(fā)而建立了微軟帝國戳葵。不管怎樣曲折底桂，相信Tesla最終很有可能像Musk所希望的一樣成為影響人們生活改變世界的公司和產(chǎn)品。
