I made the difficult decision to move on from Tesla after 18 years yesterday. I am so thankful to have worked with and learned from the countless incredibly talented people at Tesla over the years. I loved tackling nearly 🤣 every problem we solved as a team and feel gratified to have contributed to the mission of accelerating the transition to sustainable energy, a mission that I am quite passionate about. I will always have a warm spot for the people of Tesla and Tesla products in my heart and wish the team and company the best in the future. When I joined as a junior firmware / electrical engineer back in 2006, a future Tesla that produced the world’s top selling vehicle was well beyond my expected set of outcomes. A reminder to all of us to set higher expectations, I guess :)
@baglino ... my brother in arms... THANK YOU! TY for being by each others sides in the struggles, TY for lifting me up when I was down, TY for teaching me so so many things, TY for guiding Tesla engineering to be better than we thought we could be. I am better because of you and will do my best to continue your revolutionary efforts over these last 14+ years we have worked together. I still remember arguing with you about halfshaft stiffness my first week... not sure who won that one, but today I'll concede it to you, you deserve it.
@larsmoravy Thanks, Lars, for always being a patient and capable teacher for those of us electrical engineers moonlighting in the structural domain. And as far as half-shaft stiffness goes, as often in the case, let’s agree we were both right 😉
@larsmoravy @baglino Wow, great words right there. Just illustrates again the amazing team spirit present at Tesla ...
@larsmoravy @baglino The level of comradery at Tesla is insane. And, to be fair, as expected.
@larsmoravy @baglino Keep up the great work and momentum @larsmoravy and developing the next Lars as you ascend higher in your career. @Tesla is very fortunate to have leaders like yourself, Drew, and others
@larsmoravy @baglino Have you guys enjoyed the earliest days or the days around 2020-2023 more?
@larsmoravy @baglino Whoever won the argument doesn’t matter, they still suck on the X and need replacing far to often Love my car, but the half shafts blow
@larsmoravy @baglino Legends! 🙌🏻 Glad you are still all in, Lars! 🚀🚙
