It is well known that both Tesla, an up-and-coming EV specialized manufacturer, and Running Space X, the leading edge of space development by the private sector, were both founded by a businessman, Mr. Eulong Mask. It is said that two companies conducting business in different fields actually share much in information and material development.

In the summer of 2017, problems were found in aluminum castings used for car bodies in Tesla's automobile production line. It was predicted that it would take a huge amount of time to inspect and repair all of them before assembling, and as a result of considering how to deal with it, Tesla engineers asked for help, was an engineering team at Space X. The space X engineer who was asked for advice devised a method to isolate the problem by using the ultrasonic sensor and advises the Tesla team. By doing this, Tesla succeeded in drastically reducing the examination time which was supposed to take 8 hours per car.

In this way, active information and human exchanges are being carried out between the two companies. Although it can be thought that there are not many common items in rocket and EV, in reality it is said that there are many valuable information to share. Both rockets and EVs have common objectives in making light and strong structures. Also in the meaning of automatically reaching your destination, there are similar ones to the automatic driving technique of Space X rocket and Tesla. Furthermore, we can share many data about research and manufacturing methods of materials necessary for making structures.


Technological analyst Gene Munster said about the structure that both companies build, "If you are going to fight to overturn the common sense of the world with automatic driving cars and rockets, you do not need to work in Tesla or Space X. Earlon There are people who have the world's best brains and share information, among those working for Mr. Mask, Mr. Mask has a variety of problems In order to solve it, I find a solution by picking the right person out of those people and making a phone call. "

The above episode was announced at a meeting for investors held by Tesla. Among them, Mr. Mask says, "This is" mutual fostering of knowledge "connecting the rocket and the space industry and the automobile industry, which is very valuable." There are 33,000 employees in Tesla and about 6000 employees in space X, and there is a "talent pool" that possesses enormous knowledge between the two companies.


To withstand the harsh environments of the universe, research on new materials is always underway in space X. And that information is also shared with Tesla. Conferences between engineers are frequented between the two companies, and information exchange on new technologies is being conducted there. Both companies interact with each other, Tesla and Space X are located in Fremont, California, and Tesla engineers visit Space X with a notebook PC when launching space X rockets, It seems that X engineers have penetrated even to Tesla's own EV. Furthermore, it is also clear that the business jet shared by both companies was introduced in 2016.

Financial firm providing services such as investment banking and personal property management ·Robert W. BairdMr. Ben Kallo, analyst Ben Kallo, said, "Mr. Mask has a number of progressive projects, the most important of which is space X. But space X contributes to the project Tesla is advancing It is also possible, there are many crossovers (common terms), which gives Tesla the strengths that other companies do not have, "he says of the synergy effects of the two companies.
