Three Pillars Driving Tesla’s Success
Speed, Engineering and Passion are the three key areas former Tesla Supercharger UX employee Michael Rihani suggests were key to Tesla’s success, which empowered the company to rapidly iterate innovations and evolve.
The best insights from his tweet storm after leaving Tesla he said:
1. Speed
Tesla’s #1 differentiated advantage is its incredible speed. Plaid mode, for sure. The speed is uncomfortable at first, but employees quickly get comfortable with it.
2. Engineering
Tesla is the #1 place undergraduate engineering students want to work. Why?
Because we stand around a circle table, throw a difficult engineering problem on that table, and everyone — from the SVP, to product, to engineers, to interns — look at that problem, rollup up their sleeves, and immediately dive into solving it, together.
No hesitation. No politics. Tesla is one of the most collaborative places I’ve ever seen.
Furthermore, Tesla has some of the nicest and smartest engineers he says he’s ever worked with.
3. Passion
It doesn’t feel like work when you’re surrounded by stunning colleagues who are aligned to a north star mission – like accelerating the world’s transition to sustainable energy.
Speed, Engineering and Passion: Apply them to the culture of your company for a positive outcome.everyone — from the SVP, to product, to engineers, to interns — look at that problem, rollup up their sleeves, and immediately dive into solving it, together.
