Tesla Motors only $9 million in bank?

[flabby]

What reputation. I don't think they have enough of a respected reputation to lose whether tesla succeeds or not. Those who enjoy TTAC thrive on the negativity (the "alternative" point of view").

Tesla Death Watch 35: Musk Outs Zhou | The Truth About Cars

Please be thoughtful

I would like to encourage the kind people of Tesla Motors Club to be sensitive when posting on this subject. Remember that the individual so casually identified by TTAC has a life, a career and a reputation. As someone who was named in the press during the January debacle, I bitterly resent the invasion of my privacy.

Respectfully,

Lisa, the Sassy Editor.

Yeah, I agree. I posted the TTAC link without comment, but it is sad to see more dirty laundry.

Tesla Death Watch 35: Musk Outs Zhou | The Truth About Cars

Maybe this is what EM had in mind when he used the term "special forces philosophy"...

I'm starting to think that Musk is heading down the same path as Howard Hughes.

If it really was Zhou who voluntarily wrote the letter for the employees (of course there is some doubt about this), I don't think it's really Musk who's wrong here, as it's meant to be sent to the other employees, and not to the public.

Anyways, anytime this kind of thing happens it's just depressing, which is why I tend to avoid topics like this (and also TTAC, which seems to love these kind of topics). Hopefully Zhou can move on and the company can move on.

Email this evening from Elon:

Graham,

Thank you for your note. I agree with you that people are looking for reassurance that Tesla will survive to service their Roadsters. I am currently working on a blog that will outline the plan that we are following to ensure Tesla’s success. I believe seeing the validity of the plan will put these concerns to rest.

Elon
