Tesla design long Franz von Holzhausen had a fairly impressive track record before joining Tesla in 2008. However, his disappointment with the traditional car industry, combined with Elon Musk how to solve the problem of the distinctive concept, so that their career to a new level. And he has become the most influential car designer in the contemporary road is not unusual. According to Business Insider reports, von Holzhausen before joining Tesla, is trying to become the automotive design industry elite. He graduated from the Design Institute of Art Center College in the early 1990 's, becoming the world's most prestigious fellowship in transportation design courses. The school's graduates include J.mays, Chris Bangle and Henrik Fisker. He has designed 2 exquisite sports cars in General Motors (GM Motors) and then joined North America's Mazda (Mazda N. America), where he is in control of the overall situation and the concept car has been lauded. If von Holzhausen stays in Mazda, he will be the leader of the automotive design industry. But he is bold enough to join Silicon Valley's new ventures, away from the cars of Michigan, Japan and Germany. Finally became one of the most influential designers in contemporary times. For Von Holzhausen, the key lies in Tesla launched Model 3 to enter the mass market. When he ventured to collaborate with Elon Musk, Tesla only launched the Roadster Roadster, and his decision has now been rewarded. Von Holzhausen envisions a future in which gorgeous electric cars can someday drive autonomously. Car designers over the next few decades may be praising the car industry's legendary figures. But when it comes to creating careers and prestige, they will look back on von Holzhausen. Von Holzhausen recently visited to share details of how he joined Tesla and its design philosophy. When von Holzhausen joined Tesla, the company had only roadster the car and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Although the traditional auto industry was on the verge of bankruptcy during the financial crisis, by 2010, GM had already made an IPO, returning to the open market after the government bailed out and collapsed. Other electric vehicles, new ventures, have shown pressure to introduce new technologies, most of which are doomed to failure. Many experts believe that Tesla will fail in a few years because the cost of launching a new car will drag the company down. But von Holzhausen was frustrated with the traditional auto industry and was ready to leave Mazda. Meeting with Musk several times confirmed that experienced designers and designer-sensitive entrepreneurs share visions and values. For Von Holzhausen, it was musk and Tesla's absolute commitment to make him decide to join. Musk said that he and von Holzhausen taste congenial, so in addition to the relationship between the two sides, Musk intends to reshape the traffic is to impress his main cause. Von Holzhausen's bottom line he said in an interview with Business Insider that Tesla had gambled everything. Musk sketched Tesla road map is very simple. The company had to build 1 of exciting electric cars to change the impression that electric cars were used as golf carts. The car will be sold at a high price to early-stage users of electric cars, as well as enthusiasts for high-performance, exotic sports cars. The money will be financed by extra luxury electric cars, all in preparation for the launch of the first long-range VW electric car. Von Holzhausen decided to guide its direction by Musk. Musk embraces the philosophy of first principle thinking, and regards it as Tesla's standard. The idea is to avoid thinking in a simulated way, such as making the car look like that car, simply doing it differently or better, but stripping the problem to the core and trying to be the best. Von Holzhausen embraces efficiency. Von Holzhausen thinks that every car in Tesla is beautiful, and that it doesn't cost much to make a beautiful industrial design. More important is the choice of beauty as the first principle, because in the competitive market, the most attractive products will stand out. By virtue of efficiency, Von Holzhausen has 1 of concepts, not only to infiltrate the design of Model S, but also to infiltrate the continuous development of the entire Tesla brand. All Tesla electric vehicles are centered on 1 large central touch screens and control almost all vehicle functions. In order to be easier to watch, it even tends to drive. Tesla, von Holzhausen and the company's design team, including Musk, recognize that a huge screen will enhance Tesla's sense of technology. None of the other depots had such a large screen in the car. When sitting in the driver's seat or back seat, you will see this screen, so it will automatically strengthen the Tesla brand. and Model 3 is an outstanding design achievement. The design of Model S is magnified beautifully on Model X. The Model 3 is smaller than the Model S, but it is not compressed Model S. This is the key to Von Holzhausen influence. He is a rare professional who creates a specific industrial design and creates 1 of visual impressions that can be seen as a Tesla brand. Von Holzhausen also did not hesitate to say that Model 3 is completely defined by the Tesla touch screen of the ultra simple inside, indicating that the car does not need human driving control day.
