Tesla is one of the largest electric car manufacturers, with a value of $1.051 trillion; this makes it the sixth company in the world in value terms.
Tesla shares are traded at $1047, 64% higher than at this time last year, and the founder and CEO of the company, Gideon Musk, currently has a net wealth of about $300 billion, making him the richest person in the world.
The Guardian newspaper published an article by John Hungington on the reasons which, in his opinion, can be considered to be among the pioneers of the car industry, and that regardless of the argument about his personality, his major contributions in the auto industry should not be overlooked.
Is wealth confusing the achievements of the catcher?
Vast wealth like power acts as a catalyst that distorts people's perceptions of who owns it, and it looks like they're surrounded by a field of distortion of reality.
It got similar distortions from people like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs at the time, and now it's Musk's turn. Because it is famous for social media-especially Twitter, where it has 65.7 million followers-everything it says is carefully analyzed by the purveyors (who all call it "Elon", as if it were a friend of theirs).
This gives him more influence than any other CEO in the company, and on occasion it influences global financial markets through what the Financial Times usually calls the Tesla Financial Complex.
What or where are your real catchers?
The answer, the author believes, lies in the process of manufacturing complex products. Anyone who thinks these things are easy is definitely never appreciated.
You may think that the field of electric cars is going to be a child's play compared to SpaceX, but when Tesla started making cars in 2008, the world and other car manufacturers such as Ford, General Motors, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen and Toyota, this is a reminder of the way Nokia and Motorola were inspired in 2007 by the idea that Apple was making a mobile phone.
The story is the same in the case of the car; Tesla finally discovered how to make cars with aluminium skeletons and then equip them with all the things that enter the car using a mixture of robots and humans, and now its model 3 appears as the new, best-selling car in a number of markets.
But the work didn't stop there. The art of making cars was just the beginning, followed by a conversation with one of the car makers, Natheer who allegedly likened the back end of a Tesla car during manufacturing to a patchwork quilt of the manufacturer's parts.
And that's what led Musk to think about pouring the whole structure into one piece of molten aluminum, just like baby toy cars.
It has now been deployed in some Tesla factories, where the back half of the Y (y) structures is turned into one piece with individual pressure.
And all of a sudden, a task that requires 70 different parts is assembled by 300 objects by one giant machine.
The spiritual heir of Ford.
In this way, he was able to attract the huge investments needed to make a new way of thinking about what to do with electric cars; he became the catcher for Henry Ford ’ s spiritual heir.
Since the early days of the automobile industry, there have been only three major typical shifts in the manufacturing process; the first was Ford's introduction of a production line, and the second model shift from Toyota in the post-war years came through the famous “poor” production method, which included minimizing inventory and arranging supply chains to deliver the parts in a timely manner immediately before they were needed at the manufacturing stage.
Although invented in Japan, and initially ignored by the American automobile industry, in the end every car is Toyota style.
And instead, the third transformation in the automobile industry that was brought about by the catcher with the arrival of Giga Press suggests that in the end, the catcher may be remembered as the man who found a new way to make ground vehicles.
