Good luck with that when you've just sacked all your engineers, and send the work to Brazil!
They also didn't try multiple product lines and electrifying everything. Kept it simple. Roadster based off the Lotus. Then their first in house car, the Model S... Then X... Then 3... And now Y. Nice simple strategy
