“Really. Barrier describing our midsize platform exactly that it's scheduled for production late twenty six 48 to $50,000 car, state of the art, and we'll be able to make that because we can go further with less batteries, and therefore we can afford to make such a compelling car at that price point, like no one else can, embodying all our…”
“I think that you've got to look at who is now leading technically. I mean, we've got the highest voltage car, we've got the most efficient, we've got the most aerodynamic, we've got the longest range, who got the highest performance, we've got the best battery engineering, we've got the most advanced motor control algorithms, I think we'v…”
“Came public with his back and came back down. Yes, actually. And actually, that triggered some of my performance stock options, which my stock options performance package was based entirely upon share price. And so all that remuneration was due to performance related stock options, which I triggered.”
