According to sources, Tesla's head of production in charge of all vehicle manufacturing at Fremont factory, Peter Hochholdinger (ex - Audi) has left the company...

Smiley

Surprised it took this long.   JB Staubel is believed to have left the company too as few have seen him over the past six months.  

JB Straubel has not left the company. He was on stage at the shareholder meeting two weeks ago.

And regarding Hochholdinger, who says that it is negative for Tesla that he left? Maybe he didn't deliver and were stuck in old processes and and thinking from Audi?

Straubel is not there on a day-to-day basis according to many at the company.  That isn’t FUD, that is a fact.   He is no longer shaping the technology pathway of the company.   

Tesla would learn much by studying Audi’s manufacturing system as well as its innovative approaches to metal fabrication and toolmaking.
