Google should have been very close to getting buy Tesla Motors. This tells two named individuals who have previously been employees at automakers Bloomberg. This is the former Tesla engineer Ali Javidan and former chief designed Franz von Holzhausen.
Sales Difficulties
The reason for it all to be difficulties Tesla Motors was a period in 2013, when company reportedly struggled to get customers who had pre-ordered the Model S to actually buy the car.
According to the two former employees went so far that Tesla CEO Elon Musk took contact with the chief and co-founder of Google, Larry Page, who is referred by Wired as a friend of Musk. The two must have agreed on the main features of the agreement was that Google would buy Tesla Motors for $ 6 billion and invest another $ 5 billion would be used for factory extensions.
The wind turned
While the two companies negotiated, an intense sales activity in Tesla really have begun to bear fruit. During the first quarter of 2013 the company went from being on the brink of failure to deliver its first profit ever. Since the agreement with Google was not yet finished, interrupted Musk talks while the share price of the company doubled.
According to Wired, neither Tesla Motors or Google comment this information.
