    Excellent!
    The more people working on it the better.

    Makes sense since there will be an EV Corvette in the future.

    idunno, Corvette engineers? Motorhead's? Part of the reason Tesla jumped to such a huge EV lead was because they poached from NASA. Seems like several of the serious electric car wanabe's poach from Tesla now.

    To be fair, Tesla also poached a number of people from the automotive industry.

    Engineers tend to be a lot more adaptive than the auto industry as a whole.

    Don't forget, these are the guys that reengineered a front engine car into a mid-engine car. I'm sure they love a challenge.
