Tesla’s lead interior designer Peter Blades has left the EV manufacturer to join next-gen helicopter startup Skyryse as vice president of design.
Blades had been at Tesla for almost a decade, and was the principal design lead on the Model 3, and had worked on the Model Y (above), the Semi concept and next-gen Roadster. Before Tesla, Blades worked at Nissan and GM, where he was involved in designs for the Camaro, Impala and C7 Corvette.
Blades said, “Joining Skyryse is a fantastic opportunity. To again have the chance to match this type of transformative technology with a fresh and new perspective on design is an amazing and humbling opportunity.”
