As someone who has followed the Tesla story in real time since around 2005 this is one of the better and more accurate accounts of that time period. Well done.

To put the early days of Tesla Motors in perspective: check the employee number of the first employees of the company.
Eberhard, Tarpenning and Wright founded the company in 2003. They were employees #1, #2 and #3. When Musk and Straubel joined a year later they were employees #4 and #5...
In between nothing happened; no design, no deal with Lotus yet, not even the legal rights to the name. Which means Musk and Straubel are founding members of Tesla just as much as the others.

One small correction. Elon likes Marc Tarpenning a lot and has referred to him as being the nicest guy ever. He has mentioned this several times.

IRRC, Martin is the only one that he hates passionately because of how careless he was being with Elon's money and then lying to his face about the costs/timeline of the Roadster project. Elon had already been made aware of this before he confronted Martin and this infuriated him to the point that he forced the board to fire Martin.

Other than that, this was well researched video and pretty much in line with what I remember. Also helped fill in a few pieces I had missed here and there.

I appreciate the time and effort put into these quality videos. Great job!

Very impressive and professional video well done mate!

Thanks for the video, great watch!

Well researched and what I found from following Tesla for years also.

Bottom line: the company, Tesla as it exists now, would not have happened without someone like Elon Musk as CEO, whether one approves of his mo or not.

There are some fascinating facts in this video. Thank you for sharing.
