Woody Harrelson Reveals He Passed On Tesla Investment Opportunity: 'Big Money Mistake'
"This guy came up to the house and he had this really fancy, superfast car. Almost like a race car. Not an actual race car, but it was like a Ferrari-type car and it was super fast. We took a ride in it. He's like, 'You want to invest [in the company]?' And I'm like, 'Nah, I don't think so.'"Woody Harrelson counts not investing in Elon Musk's EV company Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) as one of his big investment mistakes to date, the actor said in a recent interview.
伍迪·哈里森在最近的一次採訪中表示，不投資埃隆·馬斯克的電動汽車公司特斯拉（納斯達克代碼：TSLA）是他至今爲止犯下的一個巨大投資錯誤之一。
What Happened: In an interview with Marketwatch published on Friday, Harrelson said that he had an opportunity to invest in Tesla before the company went public.
在週五發佈的Marketwatch採訪中，哈里森表示自己在特斯拉公司上市前有過投資機會。
One of Musk's people visited Harrelson at his house with a "really fancy, superfast car" and asked whether he wanted to invest in the company. Harrelson, however, passed on the opportunity then and now terms it one of his big investment regrets. But passing on the opportunity to invest in Tesla is only one of the many regrets he has, the actor said.
馬斯克的一員工曾經去哈里森家，帶來一輛「非常昂貴、超級快的車」，詢問他是否願意投資特斯拉公司。然而，哈里森當時放棄了這個機會，現在把它稱爲他的一個重大投資後悔。但是，哈里森表示，不投資特斯拉只是他的許多後悔之一。
"This guy came up to the house and he had this really fancy, superfast car. Almost like a race car. Not an actual race car, but it was like a Ferrari-type car and it was super fast. We took a ride in it. He's like, 'You want to invest [in the company]?' And I'm like, 'Nah, I don't think so.'"
「有個人來到我家，開着一輛非常豪華、超級快的車。幾乎像賽車一樣。不是真的賽車，但就像法拉利那樣的車，而且速度很快。我們一起坐了一段時間。他說，『你想投資嗎？』我說，『不，我不覺得。』」
The "Ferrari-type car" Harrelson referred to in the interview is seemingly the company's first-ever vehicle- the original 2008 Roadster.
哈里森在採訪中提到的「法拉利那樣的車」似乎是該公司的首款車型-2008年的原型Roadster。
Why It Matters: Founded in 2003, Tesla eventually went public in 2010. On its first day of trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange on Jun. 29, 2010, Tesla shares closed at a split-adjusted price of $1.59.
特斯拉成立於2003年，最終在2010年上市。在2010年6月29日特斯拉股票在納斯達克交易所上市的首日，收盤價爲經過拆股調整後的1.59美元。
