Meanwhile .......“Tesla still plans to grow the Supercharger network, just at a slower pace for new locations and more focus on 100% uptime and expansion of existing locations.”
On another topic... it might be worth mentioning that on Plugshare, some of the new supercharger sites don't come up if you just show the Tesla(Fast) plug. They come up under CCS2. Select both plugs Tesla(Fast) and CCS2, and show only the Tesla network, and you see them all. I can only assume they will come up in the app or the car, I'll find out when I next get close to one.
There is currently only one of four stalls working. This is confirmed by plugshare entries. Over the last 2 weeks the site has gotten progressively worse. It started off with reports of 2B not working then 2A as well then last week 1B failed and 1A is working at a reduced rate. According to the plugshare entries.
I'm still waiting on more information before I make any judgement (and aware that full picture may never emerge from credible sources unfortunately).I've been persistently a glass-half-full person over all of the Tesla (and by extension, Elon, Twitter/X) happenings over the last couple of years. At first it was "I guess he was having a bad day when he said that". Then it was "OK he has an opinion, I guess he's entitled to do so". Then it was streams of misinformation, and I was then "Ok, he's off the show, but at least it's not affecting Tesla". Given the benefit of the doubt time and time again.
At the same time there was a constant stream of misinformation (about EVs, Tesla, Elon). So I'd still call out misinformation when it happened, but occasionally just shrug as some stuff you just can't defend, and I still thought Elon was a net positive for Tesla.
But this sacking the entire supercharger team in one swoop, followed by the fake charade of why he did it - it's just nutty, arrogant behaviour and I find it's impossible to defend him from now on. The supercharger network in Australia is in a much more rudimentary state than the supercharger network in North America. I doubt he even thought about that, but you can't even reply to him on X without paying him $8 as he won't read anything that isn't from a verified account. He basically surrounds himself (on X) with sycophants so he thinks he's right all the time.
[Having said all that, I'm still in support of reinstating his compensation package - that was for work between 2018-2022, targets were set, investors agreed to them, he reached them, he should get paid]
For sure, especially in the scenario where the leadership team are unwilling or unable to make the decisions on where and how to cut.I worked at NRMA during the whole demutualisation process.
Everyone had to reapply for the job and in my case I was unsuccessful and was the reason I left.
P.S. If anyone received an NRMA car insurance renewal with a zero agreed value, I know exactly why and it was despite my attempts to transfer my knowledge to the new person who took on my job responsibilities.
So these sorts of wholesale staffing changes are not unprecedented.
Do you doubt the authenticity of the Tesla email saying all unstarted SC installations are on hold ? Surely Tesla or Elon would set the record straight if this was the case ?I'm still waiting on more information before I make any judgement (and aware that full picture may never emerge from credible sources unfortunately).
I've referred to that a number of times when people have misinterpreted on hold as cancelled.Tesla email saying all unstarted SC installations are on hold ?
At least in Australia, most Supercharger sites (the exception are some of those at large shopping centres) required a new distribution sub as part of the build, which were sized to accomodate the site as built with little additional capacity. So expanding those sites is going to need a new transformer anyway.And Tesla would be best to focus on trying to expand capacity using existing Transformers, and limit new sites (and new Transformers) to only crucial locations.
Interesting way to put a division "on hold", by sacking the entire 500 staff global team.I've referred to that a number of times when people have misinterpreted on hold as cancelled.
If you're travelling to/from the snow, go via Tuggeranong instead. It's not very far off the route and it's a much faster V3 site.Majura
You touch on one fact that I have mulled over during the past couple of days. Most certainly, there will be different rules and regulations for each country/continent the SC team deal with, but that should be documented in a manual somewhere, along with relevant contact information and contractor information.He's done similar before and the outcome has been a net positive to progress in the area concerned. I really don't want to get into speculation, but if I was to make a guess based on the little pieces of real information that we have, there was an issue with the leadership and their reluctance to trim staff/improve productivity, so it finally came to a head and he decided to shut it all down and re-structure.
Not 'fat". It can actually be "lean" but lacks dynamic or productive energy. In other words: Corporate entropy.like companies as a whole, develop "fat" over time
I have been. But it is about 5-6 mins slower than going to Majura, if there is less than 3 charging at Majura.If you're travelling to/from the snow, go via Tuggeranong instead. It's not very far off the route and it's a much faster V3 site.
To be fair, it was worldwide, though some of the people responsible for Australia were based in Austin. That seems sub-optimal.How on earth does it take 500 people to liaise with/negotiate/arrange to subcontract the installation of superchargers to build a network?
