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
If a company is trying to find a leaker they’ll send a slightly different version of an email to each recipient.
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.)
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.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?

And he’s mad. I love an angry Elon.
gets done when he’s mad.The compact "next-gen" car is gone.
The next-gen thing is now the robotaxi.
The "new" vehicles built on the Model 3/Y platform are apparently just a slightly smaller SUV. Probably like the HRV to Honda's CRV for the Model Y.
Its starting to sound like rather than shutting down operations of these things, he's trying to reduce the capital investment in these areas -- probably to re-purpose it to data center build-out for AI/FSD. So we slow down new supercharger builds to use the funds elsewhere.
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.

Today, Germany will pay you 120 Euro to consume a MWh of electricity. In the Netherlands, they'll pay you 200 Euros. Renewables FTW! 
I can verify that at least one person subscribed to FSD after getting the free trial.
Ford and GM need to pull their weight and fund the SuC buildout. They both have been out there seeding the 'EV is dead, consumers want hybrid' narrative. Since new SuC benefit all, they all need to pony up.
Also, 72kW chargers would be great for restuarants, grocery stores, malls, and other spots where you don't have to rush back to move your car bc SuC are too fast.

I thought the issue was that Elon bought Twitter, not that he cleaned house.
Starting to look like the strategy is to go all in on the RT, whilst cutting back everywhere else.
The risk is that the RT is not a success in time whilst the existing business does not generate enough revenue.
Whilst single-handedly keeping the US as a leader in space launches and kick starting the EV revolution, he was lucky in the past. (The last rocket worked for spacex. Last minute funding for tesla)
Since the purchase of Twitter I would say his luck has run out. Now the question is will this gamble pay off?

His tweet sounds more like they´ll be slowing down rather than becoming more ambitious :/

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.
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.
So Tesla is going to slow down the rate of supercharger deployment? While increasing production and giving all other EV brands access to the network as well?
Maybe its me, but shouldn't they be increasing the rate of expansion, not slowing it?!?!?
