Elon Musk’s lesson
Some products succeed in turning markets upside down.
Today, let's delve into the strategy of Elon Musk and Tesla to find out!
Perception:
The world saw electric vehicles as modest, slow and not very autonomous.

A bit like judging someone by their clothes or connections.
Redefining Prestige:
To convince the world that electric is so much more, Musk has launched the Tesla Roadster.
Comfort, refined design and performance: a top-of-the-range electric car.
The Symbolic Race:

Elon organized a race with a Ferrari, representing the automotive elite.
The aim was to show everyone that his Roadster was capable of beating the Ferrari.
And he succeeded.
The Answer to the Public:
With this new perception in mind, Tesla introduced the more affordable Model 3.
The result?
A worldwide success
When you're considering a product launch, think about your target audience's perception.
Establish a new perception and then propose a product that aligns with it.
That's the key to success.
This strategy isn't just for geniuses like Musk.
It can be applied even in a personal negotiation.
