AMEN to that! Very well said. Except that I would love to buy a Tesla, but not in the budget.
Jim Walls -----Original Message----- From: EVDL Administrator I doubt that I'll ever buy a Tesla, for my own personal reasons, but I have a huge amount of respect for Elon Musk, Tesla, Tesla's vehicles, and what they've done to advance the EV cause. But today Elon Musk is both Tesla's biggest strength and their biggest liability. If they fail, there's a very good chance that it'll be on his head. Musk keeps doing crazy, reckless, childish stuff. Most of all, he can't keep his mouth shut when he needs to. And, to put it bluntly, he's a world class jerk. Musk is a genius, no question about that, but some of the very same personality quirks he has that have dramatically advanced the EV cause and made Tesla a success are now threatening to destroy his company and maybe even harm EVs in general. Musk should be kept as a creative force in Tesla, NOT pushed out the way Apple did with Steve Jobs in 1985. However, they can't let him continue to be the company's public face. They need a way to settle him down a little and get him out of public view. They can't continue to let him throw epic tantrums and make ugly, bloody messes. One of these days he's going to make a mess that's impossible to clean up, or infuriate someone with real power, and that will be the beginning of the end for Tesla.
