With Michael Marks in charge...

...the ground-level employees better start posting resumes.

Go Tesla!

I intended to be on the list of customers, but I had to reshuffle my priorities for this year. Nevertheless, if I were on the customer list for this car, even if I had paid in advance, I would rather see it delayed for a full year than see it compromising on features or quality. In any event, by the time it is released, it will still be the best vehicle in the planet, with nothing else even approaching.

This will tarnish Tesla brand...

and basically makes it a manufacturer
than tech company,
while it does make business sense to start
doing cost-cutting now that R&D had been done,
by bringing in manufacturing expectise,
...how much would someone from flextronics know?

In my opinion,
his pay check could burn more money than
bring the company forward.
