EVWire brief: Vineet says heโ€™ll take a break after 18 years as he joined Tesla as a Staff Engineer, R&D in 2007 and has since become one of its most senior battery executives. Vineet says the Tesla battery chemistry and powertrain/vehicle teams are โ€œin strong position to execute and Teslaโ€™s technical roadmap is poised to maintain EV leadership for several years to come. Despite what you may read in the news, next generation of leaders are coming up and Teslaโ€™s technical future looks so bright we may all need sunglasses to see it.โ€
