So one could assume that "existing locations" means "cities" which means preparing for robotaxis as some have posted this might be the case.
huh. Still gotta travel around the states. Still holes to fill. sigh...

Or they don’t want to burn their sources.Also, notice that these “journalists” never publish the full text of the email, as it may provide additional context to the readers
Okay, someone needs to slap some sense in me; give it to me straight, Will Smith-style:
How is dissolving 500 people from the Supercharger team any good? Are we talking about relocation? This is bizar.
He didn't say there wouldn't be new locations, just that the new location pace would be slower than it has been recently. (And hopefully more targeted to where it is needed.)huh. Still gotta travel around the states. Still holes to fill. sigh...
I know We don't know what "slower" means. Now if this means Elon is moving focus/funds to help install L2 or something in between that and a Supercharger for apartment complexes, bring it on! I am tired of that complaint.He didn't say there wouldn't be new locations, just that the new location pace would be slower than it has been recently. (And hopefully more targeted to where it is needed.)
And he’s mad. I love an angry Elon. gets done when he’s mad.Again. Elon never forgets.
From Seeking Alpha:
<Rebecca Tinucci, senior director of Tesla's (TSLA) Supercharger business, and Daniel Ho, director of vehicle programs and new product initiatives, will leave the company.
In an email sent by Musk to senior executives, the billionaire said he would lay off all staff working for Tinucci and Ho, including around 500 workers in the Supercharger team.>
The entire team in charge of new products is gone also? A week after EM committed to new vehicles?
Well I guess Elon will be calling his army of janitors and lunch ladies to expand these existing sites cause last I heard, he fired the ENTIRE SC team.
I thought the issue was that Elon bought Twitter, not that he cleaned house.What are your evidence for this, as in cleaning house firing 75% of twitter employees actually made financials worst. And how did you even get financial information from a private company?
It occurs to me that, despite the rapid cadence of installation and expansion, that Elon has even more ambitious goals for the network that weren't being implemented.

Wow, this is real. I can't confirm 100% that the entire Tesla #TeslaCharging org has been laid off, but my team and I certainly have been. #Tesla #evcharging | 95 comments on LinkedInwww.linkedin.com

Update: yes the whole charging team has been let go.
You're almost right. There's no need for those 500 people in the SC team. Eventually, Tesla will hire new people to replace those that were fired. And they will have entry level salaries. I've run across managers like Elon before. They demand x percent layoffs and when a unit head complains, the whole unit is disbanded and the responsibilities are given to some other unit.People still don't understand Elon's management style and how good he understands what the company needs.
What if Exxon and Shell are going to partner up with Tesla and implement Superchargers at +50% of their locations in US/World?
It seems to me it's be fastest way and Elon is right, no need for 500ppl in the Supercharger team no matter what they did and their qualifications. It's now a problem of manufacture them and get them shipped. Plug and Play Superchargers, all with battery storage. Win-Win for everyone.
Yeah, if you look at the linked in thread there are already people from other companies offering positions. Still don´t like the extreme way Elon treats people, basically like they were robots not human beings.I wouldn't worry too much about Tesla employees that are laid off. Golden parachutes tend to happen. It's a near certainty they got snagged very quickly, with many offers, and with lucrative offers at that.
