Not really all that suprising.

Especially not with other articles talking about lack of the right production mindset or process[0]. I'm a bit worried these days for Tesla cause these seem like problems stemming from ego of "doing it better through technology" and ignoring wisdom from the rest of the industry that actually works.

When major leadership keeps leaving[1] it feels like it's more of an ego, expectations, and political problem than a technical one.

I feel like they are trying to invent the wheel anew. Yes, electric cars have some differences, but everything besides the drive system has been a ton of times and there are a lot of companies and people who know how to get what you want.

Also I agree with you that it feels that they belive that they can do everything better than anybody else and thus try to do everything themselves.
