Tesla manager leaves as Musk prepares for China expansion

Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA)'s general manager in China has left the company as the electric carmaker gears up to take a foothold in the world's largest auto market. General Manager Kingston Chang is no longer with the company, Tesla Vice President Veronica Wu said in an e-mail, declining to provide further comment, after Sina.com reported he resigned because of personal reasons. Chang, who joined Tesla from Volkswagen AG's Bentley about a year ago, didn't answer calls to his mobile phone or reply to text messages. The departure comes as billionaire Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk, who's shaken up the automotive industry with Tesla's electric cars, sets his sights on expansion in China.
