Nobody is ignoring Elon saying that they are still working on new sites. It's been brought up over and over.
It's that we're skeptical of that claim, given the complete lack of resources to do it, the fact that he's generally wrong when he tweets even on things that should already be an absolute (no, not every USA car got a free FSD trial), and because if he's so impulsive and uncommitted to SC's that he will fire the whole team over a tiff with Tinucci, then there is no way 6 hours later he has more than a "plan" to keep building out "critical" sites. He'll move on to the next shiny object (apparently that's going back to harassing "illegals" on twitter) and completely forget about superchargers, at least until the media starts highlighting some new person as being the savior of public DC fast charging and then he'll rage at that for a while.
Elon's had a "plan" for a lot of things, many of them never came true, so forgive us if we're not confident this time. And if his "plan" is to "hire back" people, then he's just an human being and an even worse manager.
