Tesla is an engineering based company. GM is a MBA based company.
It isn't that Tesla has no MBAs on staff or the GM has no engineers on staff. But a culture that leverages engineering culture can iterate and reinvent itself and include new technologies faster than one who is focused on management metrics.
I'm not saying that MBAs are bad, there are plenty of companies that went way to heavy on hiring engineers and went bankrupt before their business plan was viable.
