Automakers are finally starting to call out Tesla's uniquely dangerous and fraudulent approach to driving automation! Here's Mercedes-Benz's head of autonomous driving Jochen Haab: www.drive.com.au/news/tesla-f...

I’ve said it before, but Tesla’s only chance was to figure out how to make a real car company before real car companies figured out how to make Teslas, and they have blown it SO. BADLY.

Turns out you can’t just bullshit this stuff like it’s a half-baked video game launch. Battlecruiser 3000AD never sent supporters to a fiery death by smearing them across a bridge abutment.

I had a strange reporting line to the CEO of a broker dealer (I was only a director). He was RUTHLESS with me, and said to me nearly every week "Under promise - over deliver". Musk does the EXACT opposite.

He was "grooming me" and another dude "Steve". Steve he rotated through all departments. He was making him a CEO. I was being made a CTO. I could (can) build a hell of a team, but I can't manage groups of people. Like, 5-12 is nice, but past that I am NOT your guy,

Doesn't even mean that down-stream there might be more, but I can't deal with more than that coming and bothering me.

A few years back I jumped from 5 direct reports to 9, took a major shift in my approach. From observing peers, agree that 12 or more direct reports is another threshold that requires a really different style.

I have a friend who runs an OPs group. Its like 120 people! Insanity. He says 99% of the day is dealing with people and people issues.

But Musk is a genius who knows more about automobile manufacturing than anyone on the planet. Just ask him.

I heard him say he knew more about MANUFACTURING period. Than anyone ALIVE. It sounded so hysterical I imagined him repeating it over a loudspeaker to a crowd of thousands.
