Totaled : the billion-dollar crash of the startup that took on big auto, big oil and the world
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references.

"What happens when innovation, disruption and a billion dollars collide? Global investors. Presidents and prime ministers. Groundbreaking technology. And a young entrepreneur with charisma, conviction and confidence to burn. Before Tesla became the phenomenon it is today, Israel's Better Place was ready to change the world by building the world's first affordable, all-electric car. An international spy scandal, a Twitter war, an axle snapped from too much torque, wildly swinging oil prices, the Great Recession- car and company zoomed around these obstacles and many more, hyping up hopes and landing nearly a billion dollars in funding. And then the wheels started to fall off. Business and technology journalist Brian Blum tells the stories of the world's most fascinating entrepreneurs and the companies they create."--back cover
