Is there any support for that view? He fired the most important infrastructure team in the entire EV industry. Everything was working well, except the v4 rollout was going slow. There was nothing really broken. A possibly supportable view would be if you decided the team was broken, but you didn't want to destroy the many agreements you had going with other car companies, people building infrastructure, etc, continue the agreements that would make your supercharger network an almost permanent gas station for the EV world, would be something like
- tell your partners you are making a big change in the supercharger team
- tell the people building the chargers to go ahead or stop as desired
- figure out what part of the supercharger team you want to keep
- start making some changes
- assure your partners all is continuing well
Instead we have this abrupt firing of the entire org, laughable email responses, people getting "blah does work here anymore email, try
[email protected]". Then foo email bounces, says talk to bar, multiple levels. There's extreme confusion all around, and then official communications from tesla that say "don't start any new jobs unless you started digging up the ground. If you are digging, keep going. ALL IS WELL!". This is not a well organized or reasoned behavior pattern. I don't know if it could have been done more destructively.
