Coming on the heels of Tesla Motors’ decision that they will build their new electric sedan in California, this non-traditional automaker announced the hiring of former Chrysler VP of Product Development, Mike Donoughe. The hiring of Donoughe, who will be the VP of Vehicle Engineering and Manufacturing, hopefully indicates a general belief by auto industry veterans that Tesla Motors’ future is bright. Those veterans, who are highly experienced in the industry, hopefully see Tesla as a real threat to the existing model and may be looking to hop on board.
According to Donoughe, “I joined the Tesla team because I am enthusiastic about Tesla’s objective to integrate their disruptive EV technology into mainstream automobiles. Tesla is creating vehicles that appeal to customers looking for environmentally sound and energy efficient solutions without compromising on functionality and performance. I look forward to contributing to these efforts as a part of the Tesla team.”
