00:00We didn't actually come up with the name Tesla Motors.
00:02We didn't own the name.
00:03A guy in Sacramento came up with the name and owned the name, and we had to buy it off
00:07him for $75,000.
00:09You wanted that name that badly?
00:11Yeah.
00:12The guy in Sacramento really didn't want to sell us the name either.
00:16I sent the nicest guy in the company to just go sit on his doorstep and not leave until
00:20he agreed to sell it to us.
00:21A sweet guy.
00:22The nicest, impossible to anger, nicest person.
00:28So, basically, the guy said, fine, I'll sell you the name.
00:30If you'll leave my doorstep.
00:33Yeah, pretty much.
