The Electric: A New Database of 90 Tesla Veterans Running Other Companies

When Tesla’s head of powertrain, Drew Baglino, resigned this month, along with Rohan Patel, vice president of public policy, and Martin Viecha, vice president of investor relations, they joined hundreds of senior and midlevel executives who have left the company over the years. As we show in the searchable Tesla Diaspora Database we are publishing today, if the trio follows the path of the others who have left, they will likely land senior positions at other prominent companies in the industry—or launch their own.

The database follows up our previous coverage of the Tesla phenomenon, including profiles of a dozen veterans now leading other companies, and last month a more comprehensive accounting of their presence throughout the industry. This time, we have widened our aperture to 90 Tesla veterans, including their years and last position at the company, and cross referencing to other important companies where they have worked. And we have made it searchable.
