One great thing about spaceflight is that the scenic route is often the fastest path to where you’re going.

Also great to see the Psyche spacecraft healthy and enjoying its journey to the 16 Psyche asteroid (launched on Falcon Heavy in Oct 2023, arrives summer 2029). Can’t wait to see what a $10 quadrillion asteroid looks like 🤩

George Blankenship got really emotional telling the story of early Tesla

And it shows why Tesla’s survival story is one of the wildest in startup history

The Model S wasn’t just another car. It was Tesla’s first true everyday car

And it was Tesla’s do-or-die moment

Thousands of people trusted Elon Musk enough to hand over $5,000 deposits…

No car in their driveway
No guarantee Tesla would survive
Just belief in a promise

But behind the scenes, the reality was brutal

In Q2 2012, Tesla delivered just 12 cars in the entire quarter

Wall Street was circling like vultures
The media was waiting for Tesla to die
Short sellers were waiting for the collapse

And the company was running straight into one of the most terrifying production hells in startup history

Then Elon did something insane

He publicly tweeted that Tesla would be profitable by Q1 2013

That wasn’t a prediction
That was a survival command
To make it happen, Elon set the number:
4,750 deliveries....

The mission became clear:
Deliver thousands of Model S cars before the quarter ended

The number that mattered inside the company became 4,750

The pressure inside Tesla became unreal

George Blankenship had to email Elon every single night at exactly midnight with the raw survival numbers:

How many deliveries still stood between Tesla and death

By the final week, job titles disappeared
IT guys were washing cars
Marketing guys were moving cars

People who had never worked in delivery were suddenly doing whatever it took

Nobody was “above” the work
Nobody was waiting for someone else.
Everyone was fighting for the same thing:
Keep Tesla alive

Then came the final Saturday of the quarter.
At 3 PM…
Car 4,750 was delivered

Tesla had done the impossible

Blankenship stood on his desk, looked at his exhausted team, and told them:

“What you just did is monumental… not just for Tesla, but for what we’re going to do for mankind.”

That quarter, Tesla shocked the world with an $11M profit.

The stock exploded from around $20 to $90

But the real story isn’t the stock

It’s that Tesla crossed the line between impossible and inevitable

They didn’t just build a company.

They forged the foundation of the EV revolution

At Tesla, we build our cars with love
