Musk's action won the evaluation and praise of Tesla industry, such as "subversion", "unprecedented", "brave pioneering work" and "worthy of respect", and believed that this event would become a catalyst to accelerate the development of the global electric vehicle industry. Sure enough, not long after, Apple announced its entry into the electric vehicle industry.
At that time, Tesla had accumulated nearly 700 patents. These patents mainly focus on the battery structure, battery management and engine fields of electric vehicles. They are all important and even core technologies in the electric vehicle industry, and even the "lifeline" that affects the life and death of electric vehicle manufacturers. Manufacturers usually set strict protection mechanisms for patents. So, why is Tesla generous enough to be a "living Lei Feng"? What is the reason?
At that time, the scale of electric vehicle projects of large automobile manufacturers was very small, and some even did not develop such business at all. The proportion of electric vehicles in the whole automobile industry is still very low, and it is in the primary stage of industry development. The development of electric vehicle industry has a long way to go. Sharing one's own knowledge in the industry can make automobile manufacturers who have not mastered key technologies quickly enter the stage of R&D and trial production, and at the same time, it may attract more big manufacturers to accelerate product R&D and expand production capacity, extend the industrial chain, improve the industrial ecology, break the bottleneck of development and jointly make a big cake. In this process, Tesla's own scale will also increase with the expansion of the industry scale, and with the increase of the number and density of enterprises in the industry, the legitimacy of the existence of the electric vehicle industry and enterprises will also increase, thus making it more competitive in the market. Have a say.
At the same time, for the electric vehicle industry in its infancy, the biggest problem at that time was that the market standards of various manufacturers were not uniform, especially in battery technology and charging technology. The disunity of standards makes the promotion of electric vehicles without scale advantage extremely difficult.
Due to Tesla's technical advantages and brand awareness, its patented technology is an "irresistible temptation" for many manufacturers. Tesla seems to have suffered from sharing patents with competitors, but in fact, once competitors adopt their patented technology, it is equivalent to being included in the "public technology platform" built by Tesla, which will eventually improve the universality of Tesla's technical standards. In the end, Tesla will become the maker of industry standards and the controller of industry development.
Time is up, heaven and earth are United. Tesla's idea of self-development by promoting the development of the industry is really refreshing compared with the daily "life-and-death" competition in the business world.
Tesla and Musk's own actions have undoubtedly demonstrated the mind and courage to become industry leaders. They have surpassed their own temporary interests, stood at the height of the development of the whole industry and human society (developing electric vehicles is one of the solutions to the energy shortage in human society), and also took into account the interests of other manufacturers, rivals, partners and themselves.
Musk is not only leading an excellent enterprise, but also leading an emerging industry.
When a person's thinking is no longer limited to a time and place, short-term, temporary, immediate, partial, individual and small group, but moves towards a larger category, a longer and wider time and space, when a person can stand in the vast history and universe. Look at the problem, when a person can stand in the perspective of all-day and most people's pleasure, when a person's investigation and analysis of things can run through tangible ability,
There are four words in Hengqu: make a heart for heaven and earth, make a life for the people, link the past with the future, and create a peaceful future for all generations.
Mr. Yu Youren, a calligrapher, once wrote a banner saying: "When calculating profits, when calculating the interests of the world and seeking fame, seek the name of the world." .
The person who can do this is undoubtedly a person with a large pattern. These people are sages and public figures.
Mr. Lei Jieqiong said: Public is eternal, while private is temporary.
Their names are engraved in the long river of history handed down from generation to generation.
