The biggest problem has been that they stopped innovating ever since the CEO decided his focus was needed more on an app he found mildly annoying that he ended up buying accidentally because he couldn’t contain his bravado.
Model 3 and Model Y era had the momentum they needed and instead of focusing on expanding to other segments or offering more range of models, they decided they needed an impractical truck. They could be building bespoke 500k luxury cars with Rolls Royce or a 30k hatchback or a 40k crossover.
- krapp 3y agoYou really believe all of the innovation at Tesla was being done by Musk? The cybertruck was his baby.
- r00fus 3y agoThe point is a CEO can almost certainly derail a company despite not being fully or even partially responsible for previous innovative products.
- darth_avocado 3y agoThat was my point. The ceo dictates where the resources are allocated and what direction the company needs to go in. Elon especially hates to delegate, which makes it hard to keep doing new things if he’s not around. Add to it the fact that Elon literally took key Tesla and SpaceX engineering & staff to make Twitter work, definitely makes sure Tesla wasn’t continuing to innovate.
