  1. Yes, the symphony of cross-cooperation of the engineering teams is remarkable. Elon says every engineer should consider him/herself to be the chief engineer of the company - always consider the big picture, and you always have a legitimate input to every part of the design. He also said years ago that if an engineer on one subsystem has a design conflict with another subsystem that engineer can walk directly to the desk of the other engineer concerned and work it out - no need to go up a management chain, over, and down another management chain. Sandy has described how the latter results in territorial thinking among the higher management, the politics he mentions in this video.
