I’m in automotive and share contractors with Tesla. I’ll repeat what I said. His ingenuity is not what has made his money.

His marketing of a vision has tricked many people I know to go work their asses off there for much less compensation. That isn’t a problem, but they need the company valuation to rise more and more to make their received stock worth it.

I only focus in part of manufacturing, but I know for a fact that they are working to exact deliverables and nothing more. Some things are given no focus. Some of the conversations I have had lead me to believe a Tesla is only as safe as the government is smart. That’s all I can really say.
