After less than nine months at the helm, Tesla China president Veronica Wu will be resigning from the top job, and leaving the company behind.
Bloomberg reports Wu, who joined the automaker from Apple last December, took the wheel after previous subsidiary chief, Kingston Chang, left earlier this year. Her replacement will be Tom Zhu, who currently is in charge of Tesla’s charging network development in China.
Wu’s last day with Tesla is unknown, nor are her plans upon leaving the company.

Any company that does business in China will only be allowed to do so as long as the PRC controls it and they benefit mostly from it. China is more than likely going to build their own EV, targeting their own people and eventually cut Tesla out - maybe even stealing their ideas/technology in the process. Tesla wants to grow, but Musk wants to maintain control and do it his way. The EV will never replace mainstream cars and will remain a niche vehicle for a while.
Great Looker I might have considered buying one from her, but no longer
Next time they should do better executive assessment for their top corporate officers. "Wu, who joined the automaker from Apple last December" Interesting...
Cadillac is hiring her to replace Melody Lee. Apple background? Check. Commonsense? Check. Hell, she's baling on Elon. .
