Just last month, another actor Amy Weber highlighted a serious flaw in Tesla car through a video. In the video, the actor spoke about a steering issue her Tesla vehicle had. After several user complaints over the steering problem, Tesla issued the largest ever recall of Model S electric vehicles built before April 2016. The company called back as many as 123,000 Model S vehicles during this recall.

Despite all this criticism, Tesla has a passionate fan base. During a twitter interaction last month with a fan based in India, Musk offered some hints on the company’s strategy for the Asian country. Apart from blaming the tough government regulations in India, Musk went on to say that the decision entirely depends on the company’s CFO Deepak Ahuja.
But currently, the primary focus of the company is to reach profitability. In an attempt to attain this, Musk had last week announced that the company was laying off 9% of its workforce.
