What happened to George Blankenship

[gjunky]

I am just wondering what happened to George. I have not seen any press releases from him or heard him on any of the calls in some time now. I also have not seen any responses from him on the questions about parking sensors for people that still have their car on order.

He could of course just be REALLY busy with store openings but even then you would expect to see some press releases.

Anybody heard from him lately? Just curious.

Great question Rob! With all of the activity in Europe lately, I can easily imagine that he is fully occupied.

He's alive and well -- you can see him shirtless from this TESLIVE photo The TESLIVE Experience - Page 4

I was part of that circle for a while, he was his usual very enthusiastic self.

He's been travelling all over Europe and Asia prepping stores. Very very busy I suspect. I think things have settled down so he doesn't have to keep so many of us early adopters calmed down about things like shades and mats these days...

Exactly. George called me last week to follow up on a discussion we had at Teslive; I believe he's in Europe right now.

On the front side of the shirt, left shoulder there is evidence of George's presence at Teslive. Right above bonnie.

I got an e-mail from him last week. He's still alive and kicking

I wondered the same and reached out. George is well. Perhaps overworked, but well.

 

[gjunky]

Thanks everyone. Glad to hear!

China isn't going to ramp itself up!

China isn't going to ramp itself up!

Not to mention they are now working on the engineering for right hand drive which means entering the UK, Australian and Japanese markets. No small tasks there either.

Who you gonna call when things go wrong?
Who you gonna call when it all cracks up?
Who you gonna call when your order gets stuck?
Who you gonna call when the price goes up?
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?
What's it gonna take to make your dream survive?
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?
Who's gonna save you?

With sincere apologies to "The S".

Isn't it cool that we customers feel almost a personal connection to a company executive?

GeorgeB, happy trails!

I have heard from him... same as normal, he is probably very busy. Not to brag but George has responded to all of my email immediately, including last weekend
