this is actually a good thing those engineers and employees can go off with their knowledge and experience. build for someone else.
-
They had one of the most talented person running Tesla Supercharger and the beating heart of electric car.... kind of shows companies don't care how well you perform. You could just get cut off at any time.
-
“I think Elon just needs to take a break” 😂 well said sir
-
The 2nd to last guy says Elon playing 3d chess..... Hahahahaha
-
Elon just doesn’t seem like a guy you can trust. Amazing product but wrong leader.
-
And Tesla is rehiring the exact team it laid off. Comedy gold.
-
As a new Model 3 owner, the dismantling of the Supercharger division makes me very anxious. If this had happened two months ago I wouldn't have bought a Tesla. Now I just have to wait for the dust to settle and hope for the best. It's time for Elon to hand over the reigns of Tesla to the adults.
-
The immediate step they took is to rehire some of the hired employees. LOL.
-
Teslas hiring? I just got a email today for a interview with new supercharging team... they must have restructured quickly.
-
You don’t fire the entire team when your plan is to slow down the project. You fire the entire team when the project is being ended.
-
Can’t wait to hear what the strategy behind this move was
-
Elon Musk needs to just leave Tesla alone. Go focus on SpaceX, let somebody else more mentally stable to run Tesla.
-
Musk fanboys confused about how to defend the insane moves of the genius man-child 😅
-
Elon was probably in a manic moment when he decided this 😆
-
It appears to me this would potentially force the Big 3 to hire people from Tesla's team, effectively transferring cost items from Tesla's balance sheet to their competitors'
-
Interesting documentary thank you.
-
I bought Tesla because of the infrastructure charging network
-
I think musk’s firings of the entire supercharging team was mostly an emotional outburst, and now he has to deal with the repercussions as best he can. I do not believe elon musk to be the “very stable genius” that his minions and supporters would have us believe.
-
I've seen like 2 charging stations where I am and they are only avaliable to residents at a posh apartment complex and at a business anly available to employees.

Lmfao @ the Texas dude who says Elmo is playing 3D chess. 💀💀💀
