While Tesla is yet to revive its public relations department, the company’s investor relations team does appear to be getting more proactive. This was highlighted by IR Head Martin Viecha’s active participation in several key events as of late. Last month, Viecha met with teams from several finance firms for a tour of Gigafactory Berlin. Analysts who later wrote about the tour proved very optimistic about Tesla’s future.
Viecha also spoke at a Goldman Sachs invite-only conference, where he discussed Tesla’s plans for a wide release of “supervised” FSD by the end of the year. He also hinted at Tesla’s affordable vehicle, or at least one that seems quite different from the futuristic Robotaxi that Elon Musk had mentioned previously.
