I generally agree with that assessment, but to be fair, any qualified CFO would likely have lower-risk, comparable-reward option elsewhere.

I believe in Tesla and hope to the heavens that they succeed in what they are doing, but if I were a star CFO being headhunted for this job, I would probably see myself looking at the prospect of working brutal hours with an uncertain payout, and a possible reputational vulnerability should things go south. Only true believers need apply.
