Executives are the easiest people to identify and to hire. You select them from your major competitors and you throw a bunch of money at them. It's easier done than said. Then you're gonna need hundreds of people to design and manufacture the cars, in specific locations. These positions are a lot harder to fill. A general is useless without his army. An executive is useless without employees.

Say you need some air filters for a new Tesla model, you do not need to make them inside Tesla, usually you make some requirements then show them to a few companies that make air filters, this companies will respond with a design and with an offer and you chose the company you want to make the air filters for you. So you could source most of the parts that are not Tesla specific, then the problem is managing the efficient transport of this parts, storing them, and the hard problem of assembling them, for this problems you will have to hire people with experience to setup this processes, build the assembly lines, handle QA, unfortunately for Tesla they can't be cheep with the experienced workers(even here in Romania experienced engineers are expensive and if you do not pay them enough they leave because they get offers all the time from the competitors)
