"It currently takes ten hours to fully charge," Max Elon replied.

Hearing this time, Pierre Omiar shook his head helplessly, because the charging time was too long, and the lighthouse country was vast and sparsely populated, and the city area was relatively large.

A car is an essential tool for family travel.

It would be acceptable if this thing could be fully charged in three or four hours.

"How much did it cost?" asked Pierre Omiard.

“Because the roadst’s body is made of carbon fiber, its manufacturing cost is relatively high, with the manufacturing cost of each vehicle being around US$110,000.

If we make it into a sedan, the cost will be about $40,000," Max Elon said.

Pierre Omiard's lips twitched when he heard the price.

The cost of US$40,000 must be sold to at least US$60,000 to make a profit.

The question is who is willing to spend $60,000 on a car that requires twelve hours of charging before it is ready to go on the road.

"Musk, although your product is very good, the market value is too low. If the roadst is launched, how many vehicles do you think you can sell?

If you dare to guarantee that you will sell 10,000 vehicles, then I will invest 30 million for you. If you cannot sell 10,000 vehicles, then I will ask Tesla to take it away." Pierre Omi

Yael said with a very serious expression.

When it comes to profit, Pierre Omiard is not at all clueless.

To put it bluntly, his condition is that Tesla must make a bet. If it can sell 10,000 units, he will accept it even if it loses money. If it cannot sell 10,000 units, he will take away Tesla.

At that time, he can also sell Tesla and recover the funds invested.

Of course, this situation is also very common in business investment.

"Mr. Pierre, we need to discuss this condition internally." Max Elon glanced at Martin Eberhard and Mark Tarpenning and said.

However, the two of them did not respond too much to him because the other party's conditions were too harsh and they had no confidence to complete it.

"No problem." Pierre Omiard nodded.

"Come on, take Mr. Pierre to the lounge for a cup of coffee first," Max Elon said.

"Mr. Pierre, please come with me." Lyte Popova said with a smile.

After Pierre Omiar and Lyte Popova left, Mark Tarpenning closed the door to the laboratory.

"Musk, Pierre's conditions are too harsh. We can't complete it at all. I can't agree to this condition," said Martin Eberhard.

At this time, he and Mark Tarpenning were still Tesla's major shareholders, and Tesla's voice was still in their hands.

Musk frowned when he heard Martin Eberhard's words. He felt that Martin was too timid. How could they expand Tesla's production without financing.

"Martin, Mr. Pierre is the only one willing to invest in us. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know how long you will have to wait. Don't you have confidence in your product?" Max Elon put his hands on Martin's shoulders and looked at him.

Said seriously.

Martin Eberhard shook his head helplessly and replied: "The sales volume of 10,000 units is really too much. Even if a new fuel vehicle is launched, it may not be able to sell that many, let alone our electric sports car."

Martin Eberhard really has no confidence at all when it comes to sales.

"I agree with Martin, ten thousand units is too many." Mark Tarpenning walked up to the two people and said.

As the saying goes, people are selfish, and there are reasons why the two people disagree. Even if Tesla does not have the funds to expand production, Tesla will still be theirs, and Tesla will be bankrupt by then.

They can also sell it at a good price with the technology Tesla has.

But if they were betting against Pierre Omiard, they would really have nothing if they lost. This bet was simply too big for them.

It was simply not something the two of them could bear.

As for Musk, he is a gambler. He has invested 6.4 million US dollars in it. If Tesla goes bankrupt, his money will basically be wasted, but if they win the bet.

Then tomorrow we can have a young model on the yacht.

How could a gambler miss such a good opportunity?

Musk is a man standing on the edge of a cliff, a desperate gambler.

For ordinary people, without government support and who are not scientists, wanting to build rockets, fly to Mars, and immigrate to interstellar space on their own is simply a fantasy. However, Musk stubbornly believes that he can lead humans to immigrate to Mars.

Musk is a lunatic and a terrifying paranoia. Rocket launches have repeatedly failed, and the billions of dollars he earned from his first two successful ventures disappeared without a trace when the rocket exploded.

No one would dare to do such a thing, but he dared to do it.

It happened that he was the one who was favored by the goddess of luck, so Tesla and SpaceX in previous lives were successful.

However, Cao Mang's little butterfly created a different butterfly effect.

Because the emergence of Cao Mang made them feel a crisis and made them eager to expand Tesla's scale.

Otherwise, if they continue on the original track, Tesla may not be able to compete with Kirin Automobile, but Tesla will definitely be able to occupy a place.

"Mark, this is our only chance. If Tesla can succeed, we will still have the opportunity to customize the standards for electric vehicles, even if we don't have the opportunity to customize the standards for electric vehicles.

As long as we succeed, we can save Tesla.

If Tesla fails, Tesla will definitely go bankrupt." Max Elon looked at Mark Tarpenning and said.

Mark and Martin fell into silence for a while. The bet really made it difficult for them to make a decision.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Max was very helpless. Although he was a shareholder of Tesla, he had no say in Tesla.

After thinking about it, Martin Eberhard said: "I think we still have a chance. Let's proceed according to the original plan. If Kirin wants to build an electric car, it will take at least one or two years.

Our roadst will be launched in a few months, so we might as well wait until roadst is launched before discussing this matter."

"Martin, if the sales of roadst are not satisfactory, investors will lose interest in Tesla." Max Elon said.

"No, I believe Kirin will be interested in Tesla. If Kirin takes a stake in Tesla, they will greatly reduce their research and development time. If we can't beat them, then we will join them. I believe Kirin doesn't mind having one more car in their name."

Brand." Martin Eberhard smiled.

Mark Tarpenning's eyes lit up when he heard Martin's words.

Even if Tesla fails, Kirin will definitely come to the rescue. If Kirin Group buys shares in Tesla, it will definitely be a win-win situation.
