"I have never engaged in a product development project without the full cooperation of my organization's technical teams. Their contributions to the product design, the technology it incorporates, its functions and features, and how easily it can be manufactured determine the project's success. I will engage the Tesla technical teams early in the process to get both their input and buy-in. I will keep them engaged and consult with them as we move through the design, development, and manufacturing processes. I place a great deal of value on their input and suggestions and will incorporate these whenever possible."
