Here are the 3 mentioned steps in Elon's approach (in my opinion). This is an interesting example of a Shaping Strategy.

Step 1: Identify a huge TAM. Ideally over $1T. Ideally with a weak incumbent.
Step 2: Solve the problem with world-class engineering.
Step 3: Run an innovation marathon focused on rapid improvements and cost reductions. Vertical integration and repeatability are key to this.

Here is the book by Chris Zook on Repeatability.
