Although this retelling of the early days at Tesla wasn’t quite as captivating as the recently reviewed Liftoff (the story of Space X), it reminded me at a time when I needed it most just how powerful hope and determination can be in company building. Musk, but more importantly the Tesla team cheated death so many times, that it’s not only remarkable the company survived at all, but that the Tesla brand has defied the odds to single handedly build a mass market electric vehicle that will, in all likelihood, move the human population away from our dependence on fossil fuel once and for all.
