特斯拉秘密总体规划（2006）
The Secret Tesla Motors Master Plan (2006)
2013 — 2016，它一次次回到首页
黑点是上首页（≥ 50 分）的那次投稿，空心点是没冲上去的投稿，点越大分数越高。
导读
这是 Elon Musk 于 2006 年发布的 Tesla 总体规划博文：先造高端电动跑车，再用利润造更平价的车，最终把电动车推向大众市场，同时提供零排放发电方案。它后来被视为 Tesla 产品路线的源头，多年后仍被 Hacker News 反复翻出讨论。
为什么经久不衰：它把宏大的电动车愿景拆成清晰、可执行、可被时间验证的分阶段商业路线，今天读来仍是公开路线图式创业的经典样本。

概括了总体规划的四步：高端跑车→平价车→更平价车，并配套零排放发电。
他简而言之把总体规划概括为：“造跑车。用这笔钱造一辆买得起的车。再用这笔钱造一辆更买得起的车。在做这些的同时，还提供零排放发电选项。别告诉任何人。”

As he says in short the masterplan is to: "Build sports car. Use that money to build an affordable car. Use that money to build an even more affordable car. While doing above, also provide zero emission electric power generation options. Don't tell anyone."
指出文章发表于 2006 年，且 Tesla 多年后仍在执行该计划。
2006 年 8 月 2 日……来自 2006 年。很高兴知道他们还在坚持这个计划 :-)

以亲身经历说明 Tesla 与 SolarCity 的捆绑销售和垂直整合。
我订 Model S 时还得在车库装 240V 充电桩；Tesla 把我转给 SolarCity 安装，这同时方便他们根据电费和里程向我推销太阳能板。结果我从 Tesla 买了车、从 SolarCity 装了充电设施，又签了 8.8kW 家用太阳能系统——他旗下投资的垂直整合很厉害。

When I ordered my Tesla S I also needed to get a 240V charger installed in my garage. Tesla sends you over to SolarCity for that and they can install it for you. This also gives them the perfect opportunity to offer you solar panels as well since they can show you, based on your electricity bill and the number of miles you are going to drive, how much it is going to save you. Long story short, bought a Tesla S from Tesla, a outlet installation from SolarCity and now have also signed up for 8.8Kw solar panel system for my house. The vertical integration of his investments is awesome. I just hope he somehow integrates in SpaceX ... maybe solar microwave power from orbit?
提醒大众市场平价电动车比小批量豪华车难得多，但仍看好 Musk 团队。
我是 Tesla 粉丝，也为 Model 3 兴奋，但围绕这款车的炒作有点过头。我认为这篇反向观点不错：在大众消费规模上造平价电动车，比小批量造豪华电动车难得多。不过，如果要赌谁能做成并造出一辆好车，我会押 Elon Musk 和团队。

I am a fan of Tesla and am excited for the Model 3, but some of the hype around the car is a bit much. I think this is a good counter-perspective: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/03/31/tesla-s-model-3-could-destroy-elon-musk-s-company.html Creating an affordable EV at mass consumer scale is a much harder problem than creating a luxury EV at modest volume. However, if there was anyone I would bet on making this work and building an amazing car, it would be Elon Musk and team.
