第十章名字起的很有意思：The Revenge of The Electric Car 。传统汽车行业曾经以为Tesla不过是个小噱头，未曾想电动汽车在Tesla的引领下，一雪前耻，傲视群雄。
Tesla异军突起，处处夺人眼球：性能佳、内饰炫，空间大，科技感强，省油省保养，炫酷的维修方式，新颖的购车体验。这些都使得Tesla旗下的Model S成为汽车界的新宠，2012年，被评为“年度汽车”之后， 迅速引发传统汽车市场的一阵恐慌。
Musk之前并未涉足汽车行业，虽说初出茅庐，但是他引领Tesla一步步走来，生产出高性能、环保又炫酷的电动汽车，颠覆了人们多年来对于电动车的偏见。
Tesla成功的背后，也有其波折的发展历程。经历了诸如涨价风波、召回事件、甚至打官司。但是这些看似负面的事件，Musk总是能够转危为安，甚至锦上添花。
Ever since ,Musk has tried to turn any snafu with a Tesla into an excuse to show off the company attention to service and dedication to pleasing the customer . More often than not , the strategy has worked.
正如前面章节中提到，Musk是一个非常乐观的人。他能够绝处逢生，就是他总能看到事物向好的一面，甚至将负面的形势视为一个机会。例如在Tesla出现一些失误的时候，他不是逃避，而是把不利因素当做展现公司负责任形象的良好机会。在“不利”向“利” 的转换过程，需要我们转变思维模式，更乐观的看待问题，更开放多角度地理解问题。
