I just want to be clear because

0:48

sometimes when people are like confused

0:50

about it this is real okay this is

0:53

actually how most you know most power in

0:55

the world is is generated with with

0:57

fossil fuels identify the core problem

0:59

Your solution addresses and present it

1:02

as the obstacle to your customers

consequences if the problem isn't solved

1:19

this will make your audience feel the

1:21

need to act and invest in your solution

1:25

if you look at the the curve that's a

1:28

famous curve of the killing curve which

1:33

concentration in the atmosphere and

the land area that's needed to

1:59

transition the United States to a zero

2:01

carbon electricity situation

2:03

it's really not much

2:05

and most of that most of that area is

2:07

going to be in rooftops so it's you you

2:09

won't need to disturb land you won't

2:10

need to find new new areas it's mostly

2:13

just going to be on existing

2:15

the roofs of existing homes and

2:17

buildings so your audience what needs to

2:20

happen to reach the desired outcome

2:22

demonstrate how your product or service

2:25

is the missing piece that will solve the

2:27

problem and create the brighter future

2:29

so the missing piece is what we're going

2:31

to show you tonight

2:34

instead of just talking about your

2:36

solution show it in action use visuals

2:39

videos or demonstrations to bring your

2:42

product to life and make it more

2:45

tangible for your audience

4:01

so this is this is a product we call the

4:04

Tesla powerwall when presenting your

4:07

product emphasize its advantages and how

4:10

it can improve your customers lives

4:13

focus on the benefits rather than just

4:15

listing its features I think about sort

4:19

of buying a battery what does this

4:21

provide you well it gives you peace of

4:23

mind so if there's if there's a cut in

4:25

the utilities you're always going to

4:26

have power particularly if you're in a

4:28

place that's very cold now you you don't

4:30

have to worry about

4:32

being out of power if there's a if

4:34

there's an ice storm you can actually go

4:37

if you want completely off grid you can

4:39

take your solar panels charge the

4:41

battery packs and that's and that's all

4:43

you use

4:45

so it gives you safety security uh it

4:48

and it gives you a complete and

4:50

affordable solution create a sense of

4:54

urgency by letting your audience know

4:56

that your solution is available now and

4:59

why they should act quickly

5:01

this will help bridge the gap between

5:03

supply and demand and ensure more

5:06

immediate results

5:09

um so you you can order the power wall

5:11

right now on the Tesla website actually

5:14

go to teslaenergy.com and you can order

5:15

the Powerball right now

5:18

um

5:21

we're going to start we're going to

5:22

start shipping in approximately three or

5:24

four months and initially the ramp will

5:27

be will be slow because these packs will

5:29

be made in our Fremont Factory and then

5:31

next year the ramp will go much much

5:33

higher as we transition to the

5:35

gigafactory in Nevada

5:38

to Big trust use demos customer feedback

5:41

and testimonials to remove uncertainty

5:44

show your audience that your product is

5:47

effective and reliable then the power

5:50

the power that we're using in the

5:52

building to being battery powered of

5:55

course so so let's let's go to the

5:58

camera feed to

6:00

let's go let's go check out the power

6:01

meter

6:08

oh wow the Grid it's actually zero

6:12

this entire night has been powered by

6:14

batteries of

6:17

[Applause]

6:26

not only that the batteries were charged

6:28

by the solar panels on the roof of this

6:30

building

6:32

so this entire night everything you're

6:35

experiencing is stored sunlight

6:38

show your audience how your product or

6:41

service has the potential to grow and

6:43

make a lasting impact this will be

6:46

especially important for investors and

6:48

early adopters

6:51

transport

6:57

to renewable you need approximately two

6:59

billion power packs now that may seem

7:02

like an insane number and I'm very

7:05

tempted to do the you know the brilliant

7:07

thing but

7:09

look restrain my hand

7:12

[Laughter]

7:15

but

7:17

um in order to to it's like two billion

7:19

uh power packs is that is that a crazy

7:21

number is that a possible number it it

7:23

is not in fact the number of cars and

7:26

trucks that we have on the road is

7:29

approximately two billion

7:30

and every every 20 years approximately

7:33

that gets refreshed there's 100 million

7:35

new cars and trucks made every year

7:37

so the point I want to make is that this

7:39

is actually within the power of humanity

7:41

to do

7:43

if we have done things like this before

7:46

and so it's it's not impossible it is it

7:49

is really something that that we we can

7:51

do

7:52

um

7:53

and the final Point number 10

7:56

pitch with passion and show your genuine

7:59

excitement for the future investors are

8:02

more likely to buy into your long-term

8:04

Vision if they see that you are truly

8:07

committed to your cause that that's the

8:10

future we could have

8:12

where the the curve slowly rolls over

8:15

and goes to zero no incremental CO2

8:19

that that's that's the future we need to

8:22

have

8:23

and that's that's something that I and

8:26

and the path that I've talked about the

8:28

solar panels and the and the batteries

8:31

that's the only part that I know that

8:32

can do this

8:34

um and and I think it's something that

8:36

that we must do uh and and we we can do

8:40

and that we will do

8:42

so now that you have learned the secrets

8:45
