With Boeing gradually shutting down Huntington Beach,
(and with the general downturn in the Southern
California aerospace business), Musk certainly has
a solid talent pool to fish from. And the fish he
has caught seem to be innovating and making solid
design choices. But I suspect that they would be
the first to tell you that their hardware still has
many lessons to teach them.
