I was seriously considering getting a Tesla despite my visceral hatred of what Musk has done to Twitter, primarily because the price incentives are really amazing compared to other alternatives, but most of all the charging network.
So this is beyond bonkers for me - literally about to hand cash over while holding my nose, but then they kill one of the major reasons I was willing to overlook Musks behavior?
Seriously, WTF is this guy on, and more importantly, how much? Nobody sober and sane would do this.
Elon alreay explained it on Twitter. Better to follow him there rather than rely on second hand information on news or HN, which tend to mispresent what he actually says. He said that they'll focus on maintaining and expanding current Supercharger stations, and won't build new ones for now.
You don't do strategic shifts in direction on the spot, with the team finding out they were fired from news articles, a few days after investors call where you say nothing about this plan and babble about robotaxis instead.
Yo do throw bossy tantrums that way. I mean, he flat out wrote he made an example of the sacked team:
> “Hopefully these actions are making it clear that we need to be absolutely hard-core about headcount and cost reduction,” he wrote in the email seen by The Information, which also announced the end of the public policy team led by departed executive Rohan Patel. “While some on exec staff are taking this seriously, most are not yet doing so.”
