Tesla has dismissed 3 entire teams:
- Vehicle and new product development
- EV charging
- Public policy
Tesla had ONE bad quarter. Boom, they've laid off "at least" 10% of the
workforce (I've read that it's really closer to 20%). They've also dumped 3
major development teams and their direc

Thanks for the interesting comments in this thread, but it isn't about Tesla
as a business, or Teslas as cars that owners like. It's about the future of
EVs.
We're seeing political trends in much of the world, especially the US and
Europe, that may slow or even reverse progress in EV adoption.

Why wouldn't you disengage the autopilot if it was trying to kill you?...
