Tesla Hires Apple Executive Behind MacBook Air

So I'm guessing the comparisons between Apple and Tesla Motors will not die down on the financial message boards, now.  

This just in: Tesla Motors hires Doug Field, former vp of Mac Hardware Engineering at Apple, to the position of vp of Vehicle Programs, where he'll "drive development of new vehicles." He began his career at Ford Motor and has mechanical engineering degree from Purdue University and masters from MIT. 

According to the press release, Mr. Field never thought he would leave Apple: 

“Until Tesla came along, I had never seriously considered leaving Apple,” said Field. “I started my career with the goal of creating incredible cars, but ultimately left the auto industry in search of fast-paced, exciting engineering challenges elsewhere. As the first high tech auto company in modern history, Tesla is at last an opportunity for me and many others to pursue the dream of building the best cars in the world—while being part of one of the most innovative companies in Silicon Valley.”
