I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better.

People will buy the car just because it's a great car. We want them to think it's excellent value for money and then, oh yeah, it happens to be electric.

I think Tesla will most likely develop its own autopilot system for the car, as I think it should be camera-based, not Lidar-based. However, it is also possible that we do something jointly with Google.

You want to be extra rigorous about making the best possible thing you can. Find everything that's wrong with it and fix it.

There are some important differences between me and Tony Stark, like I have five kids, so I spend more time going to Disneyland than parties.

The only reason I was able to accomplish things is the great people willing to work with me. A company is a group of people organized to create a product or service, and that product or service is only as good as the people in the company - and how excited they are about creating it. I do want to recognize a ton of super-talented people. Without them, I would have accomplished very little. I just happen to be the face of the companies.
