Tesla's solar division to be responsible for Supercharger charging network - electrive.com

Tesla is said to have transferred responsibility for the Supercharger charging network to its team responsible for the solar and battery storage business. An agency report reconstructs how the dismissal of Tesla's Supercharger team came about - and what is likely to happen now.

Well, if you thought that solar tech support and service was already bad, this will only make it worse. For my 3 solar/PW ssues, I each had to jump through multiple hoops to prove that there was an issue (which typically took weeks as they ALWAYS required escalation) and then had to wait a month for a service appointment. I guess Elon found someone that would bow down to him and kiss is ring for fear of being snapped into oblivion.

What solar division?

You can say that again! I had Tesla install solar panels 2 years ago, and now when I want to add more to it the page says they don't support my area! What Musk should have done was to fire the entire Solar Group and let the Supercharger group take it over.

That would mean still having a group that actually needs to be paid. This way, by getting rid of one group and shifting its responsibilities to another group which is effectively almost non-existent, there's practically no one that needs to be paid, which seems to be the main, if not pretty much the only driver behind decisions these days.

And now we will see the up-time/availability of SC’s start to trend down… and non-Teslas lining up…

But some of the Supercharging Team is being rehired. They can work together and fix issues. It will be nice to add more solar to the Supercharger sites where possible. I know some already have that thankfully.

I strongly suspect that there is a New York State demand behind this change.

The headline is "solar division", but the article says "solar and battery" division, which essentially means Tesla Energy.

Without a separate division for Supercharging, Tesla Energy is the natural home.
