Tesla's head of battery engineering exits
It's hard not to see this as bad for Tesla.<p>The one thing Tesla supporters have pointed to more than anything is that Tesla had a large head-start in battery tech over all of the competitors. So Chevy is shipping many more Bolts than Tesla is shipping all models combined, <i>but</i> Tesla's headstart in battery tech and manufacturing would keep them a contender.<p>Now their head of battery tech is gone and they've missed model 3 targets by a very wide margin due to problems with batteries.<p>I'm not sure how reliable their lead in batteries is right now.<p>There's still that supercharger network, though. I suspect we'll be hearing more about that now that other points in Tesla's favor are dwindling.
