Unfortunately absent from this article was an assessment of Grohmann's contributions to Tesla and the ramifications of his departure. Otherwise the reader is left to assume for themselves who was in the right or wrong, and whether it was a good or bad decision for Grohmann, Tesla, or both.

The second and third paragraph of the article explain who Grohmann is in relation to Tesla:
counting on Grohmann Engineering's automation and engineering expertise
described Klaus Grohmann and the company he founded as a "world leader in highly automated manufacturing".
Later:
the workforce felt insecure about becoming so dependent on one client after the founder's departure.
The rift is explained throughout as being basically, should Grohmann Engineering focus on Tesla above it's prior automative relationships with Tesla competitors? Musk says yes, Grohmann says no.
And the last two paragraphs show what immediate effects Tesla is going to have to deal with (compensating existing Grohmann customers, and pressure from the German labor union)
