Kindly fact check; when Tesla started, they bought technology from AC Propulsion, but it was analogue and for various reasons they ended up having to reimplement everything themselves from scratch. AC Propulsion is still around AFAIK.

Yep, faulty memory. Still similar point though: Elon Musk bought in to Tesla and fired one of the founders. Obv, a Lotus Chassis and a car kit is much different than the product now but once you sell, you give up control.

AC prop still exists. You were correct
