I had to read your comment a couple of times to realize that it is about your disgruntlement with Tesla service and not about Elon's past performance and compensation. You are welcome to leave the BEV community over your disgruntlement - that is expected of anyone (put your money where your mouth is, so to speak). That said, since you will not find a better BEV in the world, it means you are out. That is fine. Go back to ICE cars. I do not mind, and that is your prerogative. Just don't try to shroud/rationalize your real motivations in Elon's compensation package.No longer a shareholder, but if I was this would be a hard no.
Not an Elon fan boi, not a hater, but from a pragmatic standpoint he's not the right CEO for this phase of Tesla. A startup solving novel engineering problems, his skill set is very valuable. A company that needs to take care of millions of customers to a high level of satisfaction just doesn't jive with his thinking and priorities. We have a Y and it's the first and likely last Tesla we'll be buying, primarily due to after sales support issues, which Elon has completely failed to guide the company into improving. I think after sales support issues are playing into the plateauing sales numbers as well.
I'm fine with him staying on in a product dev or engineering consulting role. But he's not worth millions as a CEO of this company at this phase in it's life, let alone double digit billions.
Agreed that the optics of begging for billions while laying off the front line workers that actually get the sausage made is ... Stomach turning.
