http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2476400,00.asp Report: Tesla Motors Poached 150 Apple Employees By Stephanie Mlot February 6, 2015 [images http://www.pcmag.com/slideshow_viewer/0,3253,l=331814&a=311562&po=1,00.asp GALLERY ] Apple, meanwhile, reportedly offers $250,000 signing bonuses and 60 percent salary increases to Tesla employees. Tesla Motors reportedly goes Apple picking on a regular basis, padding its 6,000-strong ranks with a number of former Cupertino-ites. The automaker has hired at least 150 former Apple employees—more than any other company, according to Bloomberg. Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his lineup of electric vehicles serve as the modern equivalent of Steve Jobs and the first iDevices. Musk and Jobs, Bloomberg pointed out, even share similar reputations: a quick temper and obsessive attention to detail. So is it any wonder that Apple workers are flocking to the hottest car maker in the country? "From a design philosophy, (Apple) is relatively closely aligned," Tesla CEO Elon Musk told the news site. Neither Apple nor Tesla responded to PCMag's request for comment. In October 2013, Doug Field ditched his position leading Apple's Mac Hardware Engineering team for a spot as Tesla's vice president of vehicle programs. "Until Tesla came along, I had never seriously considered leaving Apple," Field said at the time. "As the first high-tech auto company in modern history, Tesla is at least an opportunity for me and many others to pursue the dream of building the best cars in the world—while being part of one of the most innovative companies in Silicon Valley." Musk has been poaching Apple workers since 2010, when Tesla hired George Blankenship to head its showroom design and sales efforts. Tesla has also pulled in executives from tech giants like Google, VMware, and NXP Semiconductors, as well as rival car makers Ford, Mazda, Toyota, and Daimler. Apple, however, is fighting back, reportedly offering $250,000 signing bonuses and 60 percent salary increases to Tesla employees who join Apple. "Apple tries very hard to recruit from Tesla," Musk told Bloomberg. "But so far they've actually recruited very few people." Last year, Musk confirmed that he had informal talks with execs at Apple, but he denied any acquisition plans.

And apparently much of that dream technology specialists are all housed at the Cupertino’s Apple Inc. It is no longer surprising that Elon Musk’s and his teams technology vision has found solutions and technology experts at Apple’s DNA-structured headquarters or closed-laboratories, for Tesla Motors continues to hire more experts from here. Ex-Apple employees at Tesla One of the best examples of recent hiring patterns by the world’s most famous electric car builder has been Doug Field. Field who is a technology officer and has roots deep in product and hardware design first at Segway and then at Ford, and later at Apple’s MacBook products, eventually became Vice President at Tesla Motors Vehicle program. At last count, Tesla Motors has over 150 of Apple best and brightest now on its payrolls. In CEO Elon Musk’s words, Apple’s engineers share the same ‘design philosophy’ and closely match the vision Tesla has into the future. Tesla Motors Inc use of software on its cars has brought about profound changes in the automotive industry, thus far. As analysts remark, higher software-driven cars development has meant that the traditional car makers are under pressure. The impact of the ex-Apple Inc. based employees is felt in the design of the 2012 car release the Model S, a full-sized sedan. The touchscreen based controls for many of the function and smartphone, device-like software updates are rendering similar user-experience as the iPad or an iPhone. However, it needs to be seen how far the people at Tesla Motors Inc will opt to be an Apple-like product and when the style differentiation will begin! Elon Musk is described by many, as a strong leader cast in Steve Job-mould! Time will let us know where Tesla Motor vehicles experience will differ from that of the iDevice family!
