"...a logical place to start is build a sports car, use it to build the brand, then following the sports car, follow with more mass market vehicles, and that was, of course, how Tesla's strategy played out, and it worked, you know, wonderfully, well for them. You know, we were starting in a similar logic space to say, 'build a sports car,' and I realized somebody's done that already, and they've done it well, with Tesla. So to pivot to a completely different type of product, you know, experience, vehicle topology, was a very intentional effort to also create a new story for not only us as a company or as a brand but, importantly, help shift mindsets around what sustainable transportation can look like."
"Scaringe called Tesla 'very inspirational,' commending the company for its leadership and prowess as an EV superpower. However, he knew it was important to establish a different story for his company. Tesla's path is not the only one needed for success."
