Startups are brutal. Few succeed. And it's not unusual to see periodic chaos among those who do. Elon Musk, Tesla's chairman, has stated that the company needs to trim its sails toward producing cars and fulfilling orders, and not everybody's cut out for letting go of their baby, transmission reliable or not. A Tesla spokesman has also enumerated various personnel overlaps that needed inevitable paring. Let's hope that's all we're seeing because the Roadster is a cool automobile technically, a cooler automobile to drive, and an historic game-changer in our perception of battery-electric vehicles.
Finally, after reading through the cottage industry of blogs orbiting Tesla Motors, I'm amused to discover that Elon Musk's (wanted or unwanted) nickname is "Edison." So maybe my tongue-in-cheek speculation that the car might be better named "Tom" wasn't so far off! - Kim Reynolds, Technical Editor

small scale, loosely organized blog industry
as opposed to mainstream media, you are navigating through blogs that are not subject to the same scrutiny as mainstream media is; you try to put things together to get the "nugget of info"
