There are a lot of people who might prefer greenfield work vs working in a more established framework - and Tesla with larger production lines and existing vehicles and technology would likely have many more areas of design or development freedom constrained. Improving within a known framework may also engage a different set of skills and sensibilities, and people good at one may not be good at the other. Overall, it's probably better for the world that more and more people who trained under Tesla, are spreading the knowledge of how to build EVs.
- my_usernam3 7y agoYeah I also buy into this idea, and don't think this should be read into as much as other people ITT are. Even the article doesn't try to stir up much drama, which seems to be unusual for reporting these days.
- foldingmoney 7y agoElectrek is a Musk/Tesla fanboy blog so no surprise that they don't portray this as a negative for Tesla.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoYes, and a lot of people realize that starting a company and building a strong team is a good way to get an excellent comp offer, as a group, in an aquihire. This is a known strategy on HN, recommended by none other than Paul Graham. Reasonable expectation of utility for a talented group or individual.
