...and this thread is getting completely off topic.

If the manager had a good reason, perhaps. But to fire an executive (not a mere manager) and 100% of her direct reports? That's a textbook example of "cutting off your nose to spite your face".

Put that thing on the Nürburgring!

At least Electrek isn’t the sycophant that is Teslarati.

Exactly. It doesn't take a SpaceX rocket scientist to realize that anyone who gets rehired will also be looking for a position elsewhere.

Who knows? 🤷‍♂️ Musk has grossly overpromised again and again - off the top of my head: capability of Full Self Drive, availability of Cybertruck, Roadster v2, battery swap, robotaxi (and that doesn't include claims for other Musk businesses like solar, X/Twitter, ...). It might happen, but I...

"What is Schadenfreude, Alex Ken?"

The best thing for Tesla would be to make Musk the Chief Creative Officer and find an adult to run the business. His ego won't allow that, though.

What are residential electric rates in that area?

Sorry to repeat myself, but this is throwing the baby out with the bath water. Suppose Tesla had a massive but not total layoff and said: “Thanks to NEVI, fewer Tesla Superchargers will be needed in North America. We thank the Supercharger team led by Rebecca Tinucci who helped Tesla reach...

In my experience, the only 3rd party Level 3 chargers in the navigation system are those with Tesla plugs, not CCS. That number is close to zero. And going forward, I wonder if the people responsible for qualifying 3rd party fast charging were among those who were recently fired.

If Tesla simultaneously announced the integration of CCS charging locations into the navigation and route planning, I would accept this explanation. Specifically, if the navigation system could build routes with charging stops that can be a mix of Superchargers and CCS, with preconditioning...

Bozhe moi!

Exactly. Tesla owners purchased expensive cars based partly on the promise of available high-speed chargers. Tesla took measures this week that jeopardize that for the future. I'm not a lawyer but I suspect this could be basis for a lawsuit.

That would be a perfect example of "throwing out the baby with the bathwater".
