He wanted to build Hyperloop.

He wanted to put little cars in a vacuum tube and go super fast.

And Drew was a VP of R&D at Tesla at the time.

And I called him up and was like, Elon says we need battery packs, we need Model S motor, we need to operate these things in a never before operated condition.

And Drew was like, do we really?

So it was a story of power actually.
