SpaceX has Gwynne Shotwell. I’m not sure there’s a similarly capable decision maker at Tesla.
Do you have any more information about her, e.g. an interview or biographical article that would detail her talents? I'm wondering why you're judging her so highly (no tone other than factual question intended).
In the SpaceX and even the whole aerospace community this is basically assumed because of years and years of her interactions and conduct.
Generally the theme is, if she says it the likely hood of something happening goes up 300%.
That said, I don't necessary think that you can assume a direct causation of the difference between SpaceX and Tesla based on her alone.

It does not have insight into her SpaceX endeavors but gives a sneak peek into her thoughts
The argument that a company can't build it's product fast enough to satisfy demand strikes me as extremely weak: as long as margins as positive the production problems are solvable.
