Just go to Blind. He is doing micromanaging. Also he is ,,managing by Twitter''. Whether that is good or bad is not clear, but so far he has a great track record.
Just look at the $35k Tesla that he pulled off by kicking out sales. A regular CEO wouldn't have done that. With all the chaos it has caused, Elon understands that at this point price is the most important part in the decision for buying a Tesla for lots of people, and paying sales just hinders selling.

- drusepth 8y agoThe decision to close most of the stores is (mostly) reversed, but the price drop to $35k for the Model 3 is not reversed. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1121980_tesla-will-raise-prices-on-all-but-35k-model-3-keep-more-stores-open https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1121980_tesla-will-rais...
- praneshp 8y agoPartially correct. _Some_ variants of model 3 will continue to be sold at 35k

- navigatesol 8y agoI have no doubt he micromanages, but that's a long way from being "heavily involved" with the engineering of the products. In fact, it's the opposite, no?
- AndrewBissell 8y agoThey are almost certainly still losing money on the $35K Model 3, and released it simply to try and grab some cash to keep the lights on and maybe head off accusations of a bait-and-switch perpetrated on early reservation holders.
