Glib answer: You can't hot patch paint
More serious answer: I think its fair to say the concern isn't the miss of an individual deadline or even multiple deadlines. Its the attitude and the process and the communication that surround those misses. There is no seemingly justifiable cause for continued misses beyond Tesla not having the internal knowledge or controls to make this happen. That, the process concern, is more of what you are seeing than a concern over a late project. When the response to missing a project deadline seems rooted in CEO ego I get concerned.
- qaq 9y ago"There is no seemingly justifiable cause for continued misses beyond Tesla not having the internal knowledge or controls to make this happen". Thats again a fairly strong statement setting a bar high enough that very few if any software companies can clear.
- frankchn 9y agoIt depends on whether you see Tesla as a software company or a car company. Car companies seem to launch and deliver new models of cars profitably and on schedule with regularity.
- qaq 9y agoI see Tesla as a tech company and looking at the market cap it looks like the market is valuing it as a tech company it's market cap is about that of Ford and that's with over 30% of Tesla's stock float being shorted.
