Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla's Senior Design Executive, discussed his 16-year journey with the company during an interview on the Ride the Lightning podcast. He emphasized the importance of Tesla's mission to accelerate sustainable energy as a primary driver for his continued commitment. Notable projects, including the Model Y Performance and advancements in autonomous vehicles, further fuel his passion for innovation. Unlike his previous experience in the automotive industry, where designers often change companies, Von Holzhausen highlighted Tesla's unique mission and evolving influence in the automotive space as critical factors for retention.
"The thing that keeps me coming here is the potential for the future and what we're able to create, and how we've proven that we can steer the future a little bit."
"I wouldn't be here if we didn't have the mission. In the early days, the mission was the same, and we didn't know if we could make an impact."
