Apple is hiring lots of Tesla engineers lately and not all of them are working on the Apple car. Many of these engineers are getting one-and-a-half times the salary they were earning at Tesla and they like the leadership better at Apple. Some of the other projects they are working on are batteries, software, and optics. All of these fields will definitely be useful for Apple. Is this the beginning of a brain drain at Tesla? Whether or not this attrition is normal isn't for me to say, but if these engineers are as good as Apple thinks they are it makes you wonder what is going on at Tesla.
A former Tesla vehicle engineer who was laid off by the company in June said that stock options at Apple would probably be more attractive than they are at Tesla during a rocky time. Many employees at Tesla already sell their options as soon as they are able to in order to make up for the relatively average salaries and the high cost of living around Silicon Valley, he said.
