This is how Tesla survives and thrives. No doubt Elon is brutal when it comes to cutting jobs, but getting business done and not going out of business aint easy. The Supercharging Network will be fine and continue to be.
Danny Ames “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,” Musk posted. “Sites under construction will be completed and we will add additional Superchargers anywhere where there are gaps.” Tesla cutting another 26 jobs at South Buffalo plant Buffalo Newshttps://buffalonews.com › news › local › business › tesla-...5/2/24 — Tesla plans to cut another 26 jobs at its Buffalo factory after the company decided earlier this week to disband its Supercharging unit---- On Thursday, May 2, 2024 at 02:22:58 PM PDT, Rush via EV <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: Wired magazine has an article about the recent Tesla Supercharger news - Questions Swirl Around Tesla's Superchargers, the Race Is On to Fill the Power Gap https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-supercharger-pullback-filling-the-power-gap <https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-supercharger-pullback-filling-the-power-gap/? bxid=5bea09de2ddf9c72dc8b7111&cndid=27194508&esrc=OIDC_SELECT_ACCOUNT_PAGE&sourc e=Email_0_EDT_WIR_NEWSLETTER_0_DAILY_ZZ&utm_brand=wired&utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm _content=WIR_Daily_050224&utm_mailing=WIR_Daily_050224&utm_medium=email&utm_sour ce=nl&utm_term=WIR_Daily_Active> But you probably won't be able to read it since I have a subscription to Wired (or the glorious EVDL mailer program will strip out the URL) Industry players said that while Tesla's move was very unexpected, it could signal that the automaker believes other charging firms have caught up to it and are ready to take on the responsibility-and the capital costs-of building out the network that will make electric cars go. Competitors said the abrupt shift might even be an opportunity. In a statement, Sara Rafalson, the executive vice president of policy and external affairs at the charging company EVgo, said her company would soon begin to build Tesla plugs onto its chargers. "We welcome the opportunity to serve more Tesla vehicles and remain steadfast in our commitment to serve all electric vehicle models," she said. Maybe what's happening here is that Tesla realizes that since their Superchargers/MAX connectors have 'conquered' the EV charging industry, they have concentrated their efforts and further committed to only building EV's. And once again Tesla will oblige a bunch of 'critics' to get new hats.
