Tesla chief Elon Musk takes advice from fifth-grader

NEW DELHI:

Tesla

Inc's co-founder Elon Musk has on Thursday assured to help a fifth-grade student with her school project after she sent him a letter suggesting how he could save some cash.

In a letter, 10-year-old

Bria

suggested Musk that Tesla should run a competition on who can make the best homemade Tesla commercials.

"I have noticed that you don't advertise, but many people make homemade commercials for Tesla and some of them are very good, they look professional and they are entertaining. So, I think you should run a competition on who can make the best homemade Tesla commercial and the winners will get their commercial aired," Bria said.

She also proposed Musk to give the winners a year of free Supercharging or a Model 3 Easter Egg or something.

"My dad is going to send you this letter on Twitter too, so it will be easier for you to respond. Hopefully, I will hear back from you so that I can share it with my teachers and my class," Bria said while claiming that the idea for these Tesla cars is the best thing she have ever seen.

Bria's father Steven, an auto journalist, tweeted her letter to the Tesla chief.

"Elon, my daughter wrote you a letter for a school project. She mailed it to Tesla, but I figured I'd paste here. Thank you!"

Steven

said in a tweet to Musk.

Musk too was quick to respond.

"Thank you for the lovely letter. That sounds like a great idea. We'll do it!" Musk tweeted in response.


Here is the full text of the letter:

Tesla Inc.3500 Deer Creek RdPalo Alto, CA 94304Dear

Elon

Musk,I'm Bria from Ms Esparza's 5th grade class. I'm writing you because I would like to make a suggestion for your company. Also, I think your idea is very smart and friendly to the environment!I have noticed that you do not advertise, but many people make homemade commercials for Tesla and some of them are very good, they look professional and they are entertaining. So, I think you should run a competition on who can make the best homemade Tesla commercial and the winners will get their commercial aired. The cool part is that you still won't be taking the time and money to advertise for yourself. Plus, this is something your fans and customers will definitely love. You could give the winners a year of free Supercharging or a Model 3 Easter Egg or something.My dad is an auto writer for InsideEVs.com and US News & world report. He has shown me all about Tesla and solar energy and everything. We watched a bunch of the awesome fan-made commercials and we even went and sat in the Model X at Somersat Mall in Troy, Michigan.Also, your idea for these Tesla cars is the best thing I've ever seen. I hope that when I am older I can drive a Tesla. It is so sad that they cannot be sold in Michigan. It is such a hassle to have to drive to a different state to get a car! I plan to be a politician when I grow up, and I will make sure that the government protects the environment, and Tesla can be bought anywhere.My dad is going to send you this letter on Twitter too, so it will be easier for you to respond. Hopefully, I will hear back from you so that I can share it with my teachers and my class.Thank you in advance!Your "Green" FanBria
