Valuable lessons learned from Elon Musk.Nine former Tesla executives and engineers reveal

Since its founding in 2003, Tesla has gone from design to manufacturing in novel ways unlike the traditional auto industry.

Some of them worked, some didn’t. But despite chip shortages and production disruptions caused by the pandemic, a creative business strategy paid off for Tesla, which posted its biggest profit ever in 2021.

Meanwhile, Tesla has often been controversial due to CEO Elon Musk’s public statements. He also suffers from problems caused by the autopilot function. Musk himself says the latest version of fully self-driving software is “bad.” The US government has launched a federal investigation into Tesla’s driver assistance system accident, and Tesla has recalled about 500,000 vehicles due to safety concerns.

All that said, Tesla “graduates” have learned a lot from the company’s unpredictability. What did you learn from Musk during your time at Tesla, and how are you applying those lessons to your company now? We asked nine former Tesla executives and engineers.
