For them to shut it down like they did with the battery patents. RIP SuCOr maybe he's already struck a deal to sell of the entire supercharger operation to Chevron, Shell or BP?

Isn't Buffalo a perfect location for Dojo? Cold temperatures, and cheap, plentiful hydro power?Would the Drive-in restaurant SuperCharger under construction in LA be under this team? Who oversees the SC construction at the Buffalo plant?
Still listed as construction status.Would the Drive-in restaurant SuperCharger under construction in LA be under this team? Who oversees the SC construction at the Buffalo plant?
There are aprox 200k gas station in US, if each/most gets a 4Stall Supercharger it takes care of all the perceived range anxiety in people, and robotaxi fleet will use them also.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.
Solar canopies/generation? Gaps in the network remaining unfilled? More/faster buildout of "marquee" sites with diners, etc...? Greater expansion in other countries?
There are very few things I can think of where a program Elon focused on and took direct action with (i.e. "cleaned house") got worse.
Not even close. Modi winning the election is a foregone conclusion, even by the opposition, many say by even a bigger margin. The opposition alliance have not even announced a PM candidate yet, as they know there is no point. There are 5 candidates from that alliance vying to position themselves as the leader of the pack, each one trying to undermine the other.India has elections and maybe Tesla wants to see who wins Elections 1st.
Modi likely was trying to use Elon/Tesla to score some points
This may sound like a good strategy to ICE owners, but do EV owners really want to go back to having to visit gas stations? I sure as hell don'tThere are aprox 200k gas station in US, if each/most gets a 4Stall Supercharger it takes care of all the perceived range anxiety in people, and robotaxi fleet will use them also.
Yeah, it's a little different when you are talking about changing the weights of neural nets rather than flipping some bits in machine code. What I was saying probably doesn't fit the old-school definition of self-modifying code. But the concept is the same in that you are using the system to directly alter the behavior of the system.Calling this kind of process, "Self modifying code" isn't quite right. But it could alter the behavior of the car.
Gentrifying Mordor strategy. I think it makes the most sense, you can choose to not visit any gas station charger, but I'm sure you'll be happy to know they are there.This may sound like a good strategy to ICE owners, but do EV owners really want to go back to having to visit gas stations? I sure as hell don't
I think this may be it. Its certainly what I would like to see. Of all the many cool things about Tesla, the supercharging network build-speed has to be the most underwhelming one. There are SO MANY people who say they cannot ever buy an EV because there is no place to charge it. They do have a point. Not everyone (especially in cities) has a nice allocated space in a driveway to home charge.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.
Twitter financials for starters.There are very few things I can think of where a program Elon focused on and took direct action with (i.e. "cleaned house") got worse.
What if firing the Supercharger team is similar to to firing the Starlink team a couple of years ago:
Prob should get used to it. The smart chains are moving into charging. They see the writing on the wall.This may sound like a good strategy to ICE owners, but do EV owners really want to go back to having to visit gas stations? I sure as hell don't
Exactly. They've already created the "branded and owned by other people" supercharger. So now they just have to manufacture and ship it if they have a partner who already owns the land and will take care fo the permitting and installation.There are aprox 200k gas station in US, if each/most gets a 4Stall Supercharger it takes care of all the perceived range anxiety in people, and robotaxi fleet will use them also.
Tesla service techs already do maintenance on the Supercharging Network, why not have their managers help in deciding where the best locations should be.Confirmation on a Tesla Reddit page (can we post link here?) That the whole Supercharger team was let go.
Twitter financials for starters.
This is a lot different. It's one thing to fire some top managers. It's quite another to get rid of an entire organization.Here's the full text in case you can't get to the post/tweet. I agree, this is the most logical reason:
Pfff, Elon bad. Fired the whole Supercharger team from top to bottom. End of the world.Unless…Let’s remember what happened in June, 2022 at SpaceX and what happened after. On that bloody day…Elon Musk dismissed several top managers of the Starlink project at SpaceX. Among those fired were Jonathan Hofeller, who had been leading the global connectivity efforts for Starlink, and Rajeev Badyal, the technical chief of Starlink, as well as the technical director of spacecraft. Musk's reason for the dismissals was his dissatisfaction with the pace of development of the Starlink satellites, particularly with the technological advancements that would allow for a broader and more efficient deployment of the service.In short, the team assured him that no global constellation was possible within five years. That was a big mistake to tell!Only two years later Starlink not only has a global constellation of 6000 satellites but millions of subscribers in dozens of countries.All this magic happened under a new team. The end of the world turned out to be a little bit exaggerated.Now what’s wrong with Tesla Superchargers? Among other things the growing of the network is unbearably slow in many places.I remember well that at the beginning of 2023 we were invited by Tesla to vote for new Supercharger locations worldwide. It was more than a year ago and our local winner place is still an empty parking lot in Pécs.Elon is right: this is unacceptable. And his proven management style is this: fire those who had already done the maximum they could, and give the task to new players.Now we just sit back, relax and watch the miracle unfold.
But didn't Musk say in the recent earnings call that they will beat last year's delivery numbers?
With all the cuts profitability may stay the same.
