So what happens here? T minus two weeks before we start seeing slow degradation of Supercharger reliability/uptime? That's a LOT of institutional knowledge walking out the door.
I have a M3 and was probably going to stick with it for the next 5-6 years, then probably get another Tesla. I love the car but THE selling point is/was the charging infrastructure. If Supercharger reliability starts to tank without proper communications/remediation plan, then my M3 is getting sold and I'm switching back to a gas car or hybrid. Fast.
If there is a sound business reason for this--Tesla needs to get out with it ASAP, along with concrete assurances that the Supercharger network will keep its existing standard of excellence. If they don't, I think they might risk spooking current and prospective car owners. I'm spooked, and so are others I've talked to. Seems like lots of folks on this and other forums share the same sentiment.
