Earlier today, Bloomberg reported that Tesla parted ways with the head of the legal department responsible for conducting an internal investigation into purchase orders. David Searle resigned as head of Tesla's legal department less than a month ago, according to three people familiar with the matter. Dinna Eskin, the company's deputy general counsel, has taken over the position.
