(A letter to Elson Musk and Tesla Motors)
Dear Mr. Elon Musk and all staff in Tesla Motors
We are a small company running luxurious apartment rental business in Venice. Every year there are millions of people come to visit this ancient masterpiece city. People thousand years ago fled from war to the swamp and wetland in today’s Venice lagoon to settle down, built their home, shop, factory, church, square and eventually the entire city on millions of wooden poles pined into the soft mud.
However as climate changes the rise of sea level is directly threatening Venice’s survival. Every year, the water marks their new territory on land, brick walls getting rotten and crumbs fall down every day. We as local residents in Venice often think if there’s something we can do to postpone or prevent the doom of this city… therefore a strong feeling of obligation to build a green, sustainable future comes from our deep heart.
We are reaching out to you, as regular Venetians, because we admire what Tesla Motors under Mr. Musk leadership has come to accomplish. There’s no need to add any more praising words towards Mr. Musk and everyone who works with him, for everyone on earth has seen and known, Tesla Motors, SolarCity and SpaceX are all aimed at changing human being’s fate. Furthermore we are surprised to find out that Mr. Musk has announced “open source” for all Tesla patent, usually they should be the company’s core secrets as they are the reason why Tesla Motors is Tesla Motors. After reading Mr. Musk’s blog article “All our patent are belong to you” we are really touched by Mr. Musk’s incredible vision and generosity.
Since the main transportation in Venice heavily relies on boat, which are powered by gasoline motor, the city is now full of emission from loud motors, smokes can often be seen on busy canals, leaving disgusting smell in the street… many locals protest to expel the big ships, however, we believe that is not a real solution, a real solution should be a technological revolution, not a refusal to modernization. If every boat is equipped by electric motor, Venice will be more beautiful and hopefully last some more hundreds even thousands of years in history.
We wonder if there’s any way that we could learn about electric motors, we’d like to try to apply the technology on boat, as it’s often ignored market segment, if we could get any kind of assistant from Tesla Motors we’d be so grateful, in fact, all Venetian, even all human being will be grateful to Tesla Motors for helping us preserve this historic miracle.
Thank you so much for taking your valuable time to read this letter.
Warmest regards
