What's special about their engineering? You can easily point to ford and Toyota's major innovations that changed not only the car industry, but manufacturing on the whole. The Prius also stands out as the big success on moving drivers off of fossil fuels. What's Tesla got? At a surface view, I'd say their engineering is worse than their competitors. Poorly engineered products and manufacturing processes make for slow production -- a problem that Tesla is pretty famous for o think? My understanding is that they design overly complex parts and use overly complex mechanisms to build their cars.
