I’m actually a happy owner of a model 3, and generally a cheerleader for the company. I want companies like Tesla that turn industries upside down to succeed wildly. Let’s start there.
However, Tesla as a company seems to jump from burst to burst of technological wizardry. Build a great car, get stuck in manufacturing hell. Solve the manufacturing problem, you’ve injured a bunch of factory workers. Solve that problem, you’ve now created exceptional battery cooling tech. Solve that problem, but owners can’t get their cars fixed in a timely manner. Solve that problem and then you have suddenly raised solar panels prices 3x. Build amazing solar tiles but then your FSD was always a fad.
It’s a constant thing where they are jumping around from tough problem to tough people to constantly put out fires. Again, they have a world class engineering talent so they solve these problems with exceptional solutions that often leapfrog their competitors. But it feels like they jump around a lot.
