New vs Old Automotive Industry Companies?

In general, do companies like Tesla tend to pay more than older traditional car companies like BMW or Daimler? Would the average age be younger? Currently working at BMW and wondering if other new companies in autonomous driving would have more fun culture/better pay

I worked at an Automotive startup in Southern California. Pay was way below industry average. Average age was younger.

BMW pays low. Are you in Munich or Chicago or elsewhere?

Tesla is notorious for being stingy compared to other tech companies. Don't know how they stack against traditional automotive though.

Tesla varies a lot by team. I believe autopilot pays pretty well, but turnover is still quite high.
