That's still a problem in its own right if Tesla can't retain its top talent. Why are they so uncompetitive? Are the working conditions miserable? They're worth on par with the biggest automobile manufacturers, so surely they should be able to pay competitive stock options! Also, many of the departing people are just leaving. They're not being poached by competitors, they're just leaving. Something smells fishy.

  > Why are they so uncompetitive? They don't actually make money and their largest competitors have literal billions in cash on hand to buy off their entire labor force if they so chose?

  The tenuous future of the company probably has something to do with it.

What special skills would Tesla executives from the FINANCE side bring to the table? Do you need that much experience to lose money?

  Amazon's been losing money since they started but seem to have thrived nonetheless. I wonder if their finance guys have some insight into how that works for them?
