Just after laying off "more than 10%" of its global workforce, Tesla is laying off even more employees – including senior executives and long-time veterans of the company, most notably the entire Supercharging team and the executive responsible for negotiating NACS adoption across the industry.

Great! Just as the industry starts to shift to NACS, Tesla might stop bothering to expand?

We really need the other networks to step up.

It keeps getting worse:

Grand Highlander is good and I suppose has a bit more ground clearance for mounting the curb outside the daycare center but, in all other practical terms, is worse than a minivan. If you have little kids, row 2 & 3 seat pitch is the most important measure, closely followed by load height for getting strollers into the trunk well. Minivans win on these counts. Sliding doors are the cherry on the cake.

I replaced the stock flares with wider AMG ones, along with 30mm spring spacers all around.

Equity when you have a fraud at the helm pumping the stock constantly is a hell of an incentive.  It cuts both ways though.  When it performs poorly, the compensation packages look really rough.

Yeah I don't see why any of the "best and brightest" would ever want to work for him. Reward excellence by being laid off all the while he demands a 56 billion pay package.

At this stage, what the hell kind of talent would EVER go to work for a Musk joint? Jesus.

I've never seen this crash test before...

Yikes, looks worse for Ford than it first sounded: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fords-first-quarter-adjusted-profit-falls-2024-04-24/.

Delayed launches, refocus on hybrids; IOW:

Ford is grappling with what CEO Jim Farley called "a huge drag not just on Ford, but on our whole industry": electric vehicle production.

The EV market is headed for the inevitable backend of the whiplash. As awful as Tesla is as a company, unlike others trying their hand at the EV game, Tesla's getting out in front of it, unlike said others (who stand to get crushed).

As to seemingly bailing on supercharging, my hunch is Tesla knows it's not much of a factor in the purchase of Teslas, since most Tesla owners are high/higher income folk who also own ICE(s) for extended driving. And what little factor it is, let the rest of the industry develops NACS instead.
