Yeah what I meant was engineers that were at tesla were all on board. These guys work shit hours for shit pay just so they can have Tesla on the CV. This was even more competitive 2 years ago when Tesla was stonks and every word Elon said was cherished. I would agree I was on board with Tesla and I didnt like the cyber truck but im not a Tesla engineer.
