How many people owned Teslas before Musk took over?

A bit over 400. Of those, 75% of them needed to be recalled due to manufacturing issues. [1][2]

My perception is that Musk brings very capable executive-level management to his projects. Tesla was dying without strong leadership (and had a string of temporary CEOs prior to Musk).

Oh, nice! I wonder if that should be added to the wikipedia article?

Tesla is still on a course to meet with death. They lose a lot of money and there is zero credible plan to arrive at profitability.

I wonder what all the hagiographers will say when Tesla goes belly up in the next recession.
