The mass layoffs and downscaling of Tesla charging network team and plans is even more bizarre as more details come out. It was their one actual differentiator. They are in the position to be essentially the gas station company of EVs. These changes undermine all of that and contrary to Musk's tweets thy aren't reversing course on it at all. Again though, what will happen to their contractual obligations to the US government that just gave them yet another boat load of money to build out more stations? Are they going to take the money and run with it like they did to California way back in the day? #tesla#ElonMusk The inside story of Elon Musk’s mass firings of Tesla Supercharger staff
Tesla charging chief Rebecca Tinucci cut 15-20% of her team after Musk demanded it.
She felt that would justify a major Supercharger network expansion, but when she met with Musk he wanted more layoffs. When she pushed back, he fired the whole team.
Remember all the times Elon Musk said Tesla is so amazing for the environment? The company is being sued for violating the Clean Air Act hundreds of times in recent years by emitting harmful pollutants from its Fremont factory into nearby neighborhoods.
If you own a Tesla, your car is covered in cameras that take images reviewed by Tesla employees, who share them with each other, joke about them, and make them into memes.

"Last month, every single Cybertruck that had been sold in the US was even recalled over a serious design flaw that can cause the massive pickup's accelerator pedal to get stuck."
🌊 Coolant Starts Pouring Out of Brand New Cybertruck After Driving 35 Miles
— @futurism
"While supercharging, coolant started pouring out of the rear of the truck. Called Tesla service. First they told me they don’t cover coolant leaks under warranty. After a few choice words they said they would send a tow truck"
So, TL/DR: #Tesla is cutting 20% of its workforce to save money, but also spending money by paying #ElonMusk to advertize to Tesla shareholders on #Twitter to get them to vote to give #Musk $55B in stock.
This is a follow-up post to my previous one about 1,000 or so Tesla, many Cybertrucks included, being abandoned behind the old Chesterfield Mall. Below is my 1st post and the 2nd an article talking about the Tesla being stored behind the old mall. Apparently they're running out of room to stick them.
