Tesla could use more of high-profile CEO Elon Musk's divided focus at a critical juncture for the electric vehicle industry, former board member Steve Westly said Thursday.
And it appears now that Mr Musk's focus is in too many areas," Westly told CNBC at the annual VivaTech conference in Paris.
Tesla could use more of it," said Westly, who is managing director of venture capital firm The Westly Group and an early Tesla investor.
Just how much of a liability Musk is for Tesla, however, Westly said was "for the board to decide."
