How a Designer Saved Tesla Twice 🚗

You and your business can try Onshape for free at https://Onshape.pro/DesignTheory . This video is all about Tesla, its design language, transportation design, and industrial design. Elon Musk is the face of Tesla, but Franz Von Holzhausen changed car design forever through his work at Tesla. I wanted to highlight his accomplishments here, as well as show you how he saved Tesla from bankruptcy through great design.
