> According to an email first reported by The Information and then Electrek, the automaker’s senior director of EV charging Rebecca Tinucci is leaving the company on Tuesday, alongside most of the 500-person team she oversaw.

Every EV manufacturer in the American market just committed to using Tesla's charging plug, so that their customers would have access to the reliable charging network, and now suddenly Tesla is cutting most of the people working on their charging network?


Maybe because Supercharging network is subsidized and thus short term decision to keep Tesla profitable is to destroy it?


> In the email sent to executives last night, Musk said he wants Tesla to be “absolutely hard core” about the cuts, and that staffers working under executives who “don’t obviously pass the excellent, necessary and trustworthy test” would also be out of a job.

I guess if you work at Tesla you need to make sure your manager's manager is top shelf or you are personally at risk.


Wonder what the fall out will be when China discovers their country is being used as a guinea pig for FSD technology that is far from FSD?


This seems kind of insanely crippling.

How do you proceed with growth if you've laid off your new car team and your super charger team?


Doctor, you have testified that the following symptoms exist in Lieutenant Commander Queeg's behavior: rigidity of personality, feelings of persecution, unreasonable suspicion, a mania for perfection, and a neurotic certainty that he is always in the right. Doctor, isn't there one psychiatric term for this illness?
