Sitting in the office last week, we were discussing what the Tesla Powerwall was all about. Trying to put myself in Elon Musk’s shoes, I thought it seemed to point to wanting to build another gigafactory or expand the current one. What better way to ask investors for more capital or drive up the stock by introducing a product that creates yearlong demand for your manufactured goods. The man is always 3 moves ahead of others, driving his engineering and PR teams crazy I am sure. Someone on the inside needs to share how long of a lead time they get from idea to execution.
