Last week, in Santa Monica, the design consultancy RKS hosted a presentation by Tesla Motors’ Javier Verdura on “Designing Disruptive Innovations." Verdura is Tesla’s Director of Product Design, a post he’s held for the last two years, so he was well-qualified to talk about the making of the Model S and the upcoming Model X—including the thinking behind the sci-fi “Falcon Wings" Tesla will be using as rear doors on the latter SUV model, which is slated for release early next year.
Verdura also touched on Tesla’s recent release of its patents—"We want to make sure that everybody wants to make electric cars"–and described in depth the organization of his Los Angeles-based design team. Watch the video of his talk to find out what it’s like to work with Elon Musk (“You really can’t say no to anything; you just have to figure it out") and how Tesla’s engineers make cars that are “just scarily built."
