#2I was wondering why Elon tweeted, "Anyone interested in doing ultra hardcore vehicle engineering at Tesla, please apply!" but now it makes sense.
On a similar note, isn't it odd that this position is just being filled?

#3As someone who's anything but a greasemonkey, how good are Aston Martin from an engineering standpoint compared to the competition?

His previous tweet before that read "Chris Porritt from Aston Martin just joined as head of vehicle engineering at Tesla"

I'm no expert, but I know that they're highly respected in industry.

Their direct competitors are Porsche and Ferrari, not Ford and Toyota. They're GOOD.

Aston Martin engineers good cars for their production volume. Since they are more or less in the same production volume as where tesla wants to be in the medium term, I would say his experience will bring a lot to Tesla. It was probably one of the best pick-ups they could have made.

"good" is a very murky term here. They are certainly more high-tech, but are they as simple? As reliable? As easy to service?
You really need to define "good" in this context.

#9Tesla also recruited Henrik Fisker from Aston Martin. Those who don't know of Fisker, he went on to found his own company after a couple of years at Tesla(http://www.fiskerautomotive.com/).
Looks like Aston Martin have some serious talent working on those machines.
