Tesla's head of battery engineering exits
It's hard not to see this as bad for Tesla.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, but Tesla's headstart in battery tech and manufacturing would keep them a contender.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.I'm not sure how reliable their lead in batteries is right now.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.
