Details are finally coming out about the behind-the-scenes turmoil at Tesla Motors, which resulted in several delays in getting the car into production, and the ouster of founder Martin Eberhard and about 10% of the company's employees. Amid all the finger-pointing and attempts to lay all the blame on either Eberhard or Elon Musk, there is some interesting info on how a start-up auto company works-- or doesn't. http://money.cnn.com/2008/07/07/technology/copeland_tesla.fortune/index.htm [This article was edited 1 times, at last 12.07.2008 at 19:34.] |

Interesting article, it nicely sums it all up. I wonder how long Martin Eberhard has now to wait for his Roadster after it crashed into that truck on delivery? The Tesla story is quite remarkable and what puts a smile on my face is the fact that the big auto makers are working nervously with sweaty hands on something equal.  Twike 890

Martin Eberhard finally got his Tesla Roadster on July 19, 2008, after a delay so long it suggests spite on the part of Tesla Motors. Of course, the fact that a Tesla employee rear-ended a truck while test-driving the car didn't help; they had to replace the front end. http://www.teslafounders.com/ There's no way to link to an individual article on this site. At present (July 21, 200  it's on the front page, but in the future you'll have to look for it under "Categories" --> "General".
