"They need a serious executive from a former car company who has experience in quiet, deliberate execution." Not really. They need that as a COO. Tesla has no real magic sauce. They are what they are because of the Musk Hype Machine and his ability to 'inspire' people to move to electric. If Tesla was based on some magic ingredients that were a real competitive advantage, I'd say let a 'quiet' CEO take over with a hot dog CMO. But they are still in 'founders mode' wherein the founder is a big factor in inspiring and motivating and that gives him a lot of power. You might be surprised to know that regular CEO's don't necessarily have all the power you think. They have to convince, fight internal battles, motivate. It's hard for them to do 'big things'. Musk is becoming a problem but not so much that he needs to go. He needs a really powerful COO who can go toe-to-toe with him - and he needs to get some f*ing sleep and go back to the 'old' Musk from 2010.
