is the design of the door on one of the models, and the proprietary charging port (which is not really the best design, but taken to ensure that only Tesla charging ports can be used by Teslas).

He has a talent for promotion and a good sense of investment, but his engineering ability is mediocre. Had he not had the staff he has, Tesla would not be what it is today.

I suggest you watch Some More News with Cody Johnston. His episode about Musk was pretty good.

OK, for the 800,000th time. He's not an engineer. Nor has he invented anything. Except maybe for Carlitos Brigante Oct 2022 #8
