Tesla has faced quite a bit of feedback, both positive and negative,
around its electric powered sports car. During their existence, they
have dealt with some internal turmoil, losing Darryl Siry, but with his
departure comes the addition of an experienced leader in the marketing
and sales department. Tesla has hired former Harley Davidson executive Michael van der Sande. Mr. van der Sande began his time with
HD in 1996 and in 2007 he was named the managing director of European
operations, which included overseeing 370 dealerships throughout
Europe, Asia, and Africa.
