Considering what other, more daring car manufacturers are experiencing now, "initially moving more cautiously toward fully electric models than some rivals" was a far-sighted strategy indeed. Regarding the new CEO, choosing a production and manufacturing expert rather than a sales or product strategist seems a very good thing to me.
