This is fascinating, but what caused the delays specifically?
- AceJohnny2 5y agoServer procurement was a CFO thing, and their specific requirements didn't fit under the existing buckets, so it took them a long time to get it approved. It was stunning to see the complete disconnect between Musk's grand declarations and what the organization was actually setup to deliver. Frankly, it just gives me more respect for Tim Cook, who as COO at Apple made his company able to turnaround and deliver HW in record time. Edit: in retrospect I wonder if Musk's grand public declarations were actually a way to control and pressure his own organization. Remember, Musk didn't actually found Tesla, he rescued it from bankruptcy after the Roadster didn't return as much as needed, so he inherited an existing structure.
