Actually, I think getting rid of the engineering staff is a brilliant move. If Henry Ford had done that after the Model T was designed, Ford Motor Co. would still be a highly profitable company producing just one perfectly good, truly retro-looking car instead of trying to compete in a global market place with a whole bunch of different vehicles that need constant updating. FoMoCo would have saved BILLIONS of dollars over the years and undoubtedly be the undisputed king of the automotive world!

Reminds me of a company called Phase Linear,developed Quad sound and when it worked dumped company
and turned up as Carver Corp.
You have to be at least 50 years old to know that bit of trivia history.

Well I was close. I am familiar with Carver as I own 3 of them.

well, whatever the point, it's sad to hear this happening with Tesla.

Very true... but I am finding the GM/Chrysler merger talks much more distressing.

Maybe to the point of obsessing... [8D]

Checkout the latest issue of Mopar Collector's Guide, page 51 for more information on Tesla and other electric cars from GM....(Maybe a bit dated in regards to Tesla, all things considered)
