      Problems at Tesla? Two senior engineers leave

      Everything might not be as rosy at Tesla as they claim. The Model 3 is proving problematic to launch full scale as they intended and there have been delays which Tesla is being sued over.

      In addition, two key engineers at Tesla recently left. Jason Mendez the senior director for manufacturing engineering and Will McColl the senior manager for equipment engineering are gone.

      Speculation is that this ties into the Model 3 problems. Tesla isn't commenting though and the only statement is from McColl:

I’m continually inspired by my colleagues’ resolve, and I wish them strength as they ramp and refine Model 3. It’s an amazing car! As for me, I’m preparing for the next venture and challenge. I’ve got many complexities to unravel in the move back from Germany, but I’m very excited to return to the US in the coming months. Stay tuned!
      Maybe time to pump the brakes on those Tesla Roadster claims.

      Sorry, does anyone have more information or feedback on this?
