Well Musk is spending most of his time breaking Xitter lately so maybe the Tesla guys can get some good stuff done while he's distracted.

Probably not. Tesla is very dysfunctional as an org. He flattened it so much, and hasn’t appointed a real leader, while he’s distracted I bet they’re basically in a holding pattern.

He motivated them by setting insane goals then driving them insanely hard and sleeping in the office and shit.

If he’s not doing that, the company is, pardon the pun, on autopilot. Watch out for stopped emergency vehicles.

he’s been at it for a while, and Tesla hasn’t improved any, so don’t know...

It takes a long time for changes to trickle through the system.

But yeah, it's probably not going to happen.
