So awesome. GM pays for advertising way in advance of vehicles they haven't even made yet, and won't be able to capitalize from for years to come (2025?!!), while promoting EVs that Tesla makes and sells now. And still no cost to Tesla for advertising. You can't make this stuff up.
I seem to recall some smart people predicting that legacy auto would spend a lot of money on ads to help sell Teslas. Not sure where though.
It means nothing.
Elon drops twitter for two or three days at least two or three times a year, and he provides prior notice once or twice a year, like June 1st last year. More recently he went also quiet a couple of days without prior notice.
This is completely the norm, but very often the media likes to freak out about it, as if two countries are on the verge of a nuclear war.
Like this morning in my newspaper (progressive and very pro-environment). There was a fracking full-half page on this, written by Agence France Presse (a bit like Reuters when it comes to systematically spewing falsehoods on Tesla), with lots of guesswork on the reasons written as they were facts (SEC and all), and producing quotes from whoever could show the most hatred for the man. Some California University Professor this time.
Slow news day, I guess, was also a "headline" for The Brussels Times this morning
Elon Musk quits Twitter 'for a while'

I thought it was funny, just a shame that there are no GM BEV's and I'll bet my left nut neither by 2025
But it's really nice of them to help bring awareness
Rebranding is full steam ahead in 4k.
I'm with Steven Markryan - their ad budget is our demand booster as first-time EV buyers do their homework. Bring on the ads, GM!

So has supercharger deployment been production constrained so far, that is: will they deploy all they can produce from now? Likely production rate should at least double when new facility has ramped up (very unlikely the new Supercharger factory is smaller that what they did at Fremont so far).
Other constraints I can think of:
- Getting site permits
- How much money to spend
The truth is probably a combination of all, but throwing money at the problem (having more people working on the permits) should help. So will number of superchargers go up significantly more from now on or will they ramp it up slowly?
I enjoyed it. But it is not an ad with broad appeal. The problem is the same as always, they spend more money on ads then on EV's. Maybe they don't literally, but the TOTAL GM ad spend is insane, and all we have right now is the Bolt to show for it.

He lost me after highlighting Norway, he punched through the globe. I just feel like it is done in a not-so-subtle way to be honest and would've appreciated a little more class. Not really important though, it's just my opinion.

It's just satirizing American nationalism.
Supercharger V3 = liquid cooled
This has a picture comparing old and new cables:
