No Longer Silver
My post mentions sell hardware and service contracts, meaning Tesla is still on the hook for reliability and service but it requires them less upfront capital to expand the network. I personally think this is the next logical step to putting EV charging on every corner like Starbucks.That would be yet another bad decision in a series of bad decisions lately.
Tesla supercharger is awesome mainly because of its reliability, if Tesla moves toward allowing 3rd parties to purchase them, it’ll turn into another Electrified America network, EA is notorious for being unreliable because some individual owners of the stations do not care about maintenance or any repairs once they’re installed.
Look at their energy business, megapacks require service contracts. The supercharger systems will most likely follow suit and be cash flow positive.
