Watch Dog has been following the Tesla saga closely. Our guess is that Harry Mavrogenes, Paul Krutko, and Chuck Reed in San Jose are as well -- since they have bet big on the company's success and use the company's planned relocation as a green feather in their economic development hats...
But all is not well on the Tesla front...
First there was this piece about their screwed up management battles...then this piece about another shake-up at the top a few weeks later...and now more...
With all the shake-ups, soon-to-be gone Tesla mouth-piece Darryl Siry told a tech blog recently that the downsizing wasn't a concern because, “We’re letting go of people who are either not the best on the team, or are working on something that is not a priority.” But then said some more controversial stuff on this way out the door that has led to a $2 million lawsuit.
Not wanting to be left out of the drama, co-founder Martin Eberhard posted a list of 26 soon-to-be-departed employees on his Tesla Founders blog – which was promptly taken down...but not before the list was published elsewhere. (Interestingly, the list includes "writer - owners' manual" -- which will suck if you buy one of these cars with a poorly written manual...)
Harry, Paul, Chuck -- are you nervous yet?
