It took three years before we had a product that was actually used to solve problems, and during that time, many team members were exhausted and close to quitting.

Working with skilled engineers taught me the limits of materials and the importance of precision in manufacturing, which influenced my product designs.

I was initially hesitant about the project because I was the engineer among designers, and I knew that projects can easily suffer from scope creep.

Developing new technologies, like electric motors, can take years of investment, but once successful, they can revolutionize existing products and markets.

We built our first working prototype with the help of friends and funding from pitch competitions, along with some support from my parents.

After university, I initially felt confined in the family business, so I explored other projects before returning to work on ambitious engineering projects.

Building a new product often requires more than two months to determine if it meets customer needs; patience is essential.

I pursued my interests in math and sciences relentlessly, eventually studying mechanical engineering and working in aerospace before joining Tesla.

As a child, I was captivated by a beautifully designed food mixer by Braun, despite having no interest in cooking. Its design intrigued me and made me appreciate the craftsmanship behind everyday objects.
