    • He’s worldly. Despite the name, he’s not German, but he does have an international bent. Von Holzhausen spent a good chunk of his college years in Switzerland, according to a 2010 interview.
    • Elon Musk was impressed by him. Word is that Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, personally recruited Von Holzhausen to Tesla from Mazda back in 2008.
    • He’s (really) good at what he does. Von Holzhausen’s initial task at Tesla was an unprecedented one: design an electric car from scratch. The final product – the Model S – has around 250 original patents.
    • He’s got an impressive resume beyond Tesla. Von Holzhausen began his professional design career in 1992, assisting design on the VW Concept One (the “New Beetle” of the 90s).
