If that's the case, why did he just fire his entire supercharger team?
What's worse are the asshats who vandalize chargers. I went to a charging station where 4 of the 6 were damaged.
trump people
@katzgar tesla drivers are the most entitled on the road, people dont want these death traps in their hood. No one needs to vandalize them, they are fragile enough to break on their own.
Ha ha ha. I hope they get every single charger.
@@stephenm3470 Sounds funny coming from someone entitled enough to tell others they can't drive what they want.
@AlienSasquatch14 no one is telling anyone what to drive. If people are dumb enough to buy teslas then that's on them.
Glad to hear the Super Charger network is not heading for oblivion.
Especially since I just ordered my first EV, a new Model 3 RWD.
Love the channel, Sam. I’ve learned a huge amount about EVs from your videos, enough to give me the confidence to make the move from an ICE car for the first time.
You're rowing out to the titanic to go down with them. These channels are just tesla pumpers. Not real advice.
@@stephenm3470 I’ll be fine. It’s a company car. Many of my colleagues have driven them for years with no more issues than I’ve had with my ICE cars from Audi, VW and BMW.
@@johnfranklin6394 then why not get a good car if you're not paying for it? There are amazing hybrids from a good company. I hope it works out for you. No doubt they are fun little gadgets while they work.
You sure fucked up!!!
@@markmiller8903 wouldn't be the first time in my life. I am sure I will live.
Good leadership is so rare, when it appears we are stunned by it's extraordinary tenacity.
Good leadership is boring and hardwork. It's not letting your emotions tank the stock or cost normal people their jobs. Musk is a liability. If he wasn't at tesla or SpaceX both would have better products. Tesla need to get an actual ceo who can do the job before tesla goes under. Because whatever you think of musk that is where tesla is going.
@stephenm3470
SpaceX would not exist without Elon Musk. Starship would not exist if Elon Musk left more than 4 years ago. The chances of Tesla bot achieving all that it can will not happen without Elon musk.
In Australia We Need BEV Chargers with a Solar PV Roof and a Battery.
So You can Charge Your Car from Solar.
Thanks for the good news!
Elon does not subscribe to the bloated staff #’s business model. Many people overreacted to the firing news IMO.
Tesla Australia sent me - and I assume every other Tesla owner in Australia - an email a few days ago confirming that there is to be no slow down in supercharger installations throughout Australia. I believe them.
Have you been able to actually talk to them ai you send them a question and they actually answer back?
A number of utilities and location owners have have been ghosted with no responses coming from tesla
Likewise, and I also believe them.
Hallelujah
Elon is in damage control mode trying to reassure everyone after seeing the backlash????
I just ordered a Tesla in Australia, but my opinion, the company over promises and under delivers. I ordered around 20th March, The delivery time frame indicated 1 -6 weeks, basically before end of April. I'm not receiving the car until the end of May. There was no way known they could deliver on the end of April indication, let alone the end of March.
If you are a shareholder, the sky is falling as no matter what Tesla does, the stock just crashes and burns. But as a company, Tesla is doing the best it can do given the hostilities.
BINGO! Big picture.
IDK if there's any other company whose shareholders are this much fanboy. There's no actual hostility, as what people says has nothing to do with what a billion dollar corporation does. So, its bad performance is completely on company management. Should be clear to any rational non-fanboy.
It's doing the best it can with terrible products, low sales and a clueless ceo. Even all government money tesla gets can't keep it going. I think the question is, can Tesla last 2 more years?
@aniksamiurrahman6365 it is, it's why tesla is the most shorted stock after truth social. Tesla and trump failing together. Seems like a pretty good match, the worst people on earth.
@@stephenm3470 🤣😅😂
Why would anyone work for a company that can fire a whole department of people without any logical reasoning?
Operations cost is simply the cost of running and maintaining the existing network. The network doesn’t just run by itself. Some of these functions are: servicing which is mostly reactive breakdown and scheduled preventative maintenance visits, hotline support, remote troubleshooting, planning, maintaining spare parts inventory, maintaining sufficient swap out chargers, paying the bills. One of the reasons why so many EV charging companies around the world have gone belly up and the high number of non operational chargers is they didn’t realise the nature of service contracts required for seamless operation of complex machinery.
Musk said Tesla has a goal to even improve the already amazing reliability of their Supercharger network.
Musk also stated Full self driving by 2020. Elon also stated Cybertruck for $40,000. Elon blows hard. He is off his rocker and has been for years now.
@@nerdbikes3841shoot for the stars, land on the Moon. He is right with his approach of unrelenting push for progress
Look at the Tesla shareholder reports. Chargers pay for themselves and then create profit, even with maintenance. More profit than any other company who has built chargers.
Well stated!
Firing the entire team was an ego-driven overreaction by Musk. Simple as that. It' was not him playing 5-dimensional chess. Musk is now in damage-control mode.
His damage mode is to refuse he's done damage.
His one-man communications team isn't doing a very effective job. Was there even a severance deal? Haven't heard yet.
Re the subscription fee for non Tesla drivers of $10 a month (like Netflix), this has already happened.
Installing new Superchargers requires:
1) getting the land
2) getting the permits
3) getting the grid connection
4) building the charger
5) installation
6) maintaining the network
7) maintaining the location
8) managing the location
Tesla excels at numbers 4, 5, and 6. A third party could do better at everything else. For example, power companies own a lot of land that could make excellent charger locations.
I charge at Woodman's grocery store. It is perfect, I shop while charging.
Tesla has said that it costs them about $40,000 US to install a supercharger. Even if it costs $50,000, the planned budget of $500 million would provide for installation of another 10,000 superchargers.
What happened to: ‘the Supercharger Network will expanding at a slower rate’
It is a slower rate, at least if you look at growth in % lol
There is a lot here open to interpretation. 500M could be less than spent last year. Fewer new locations saying nothing about number of new stalls in total.
Don’t believe everything you hear in the media, specially about Tesla.
@@andresd6193it’s the comments of Elon that are being compared.
Don't believe anything Elon says
Always a pleasure watching your vids Sam, my source of Tesla news. Thank you
Tesla is now offering 0.99% interest rate on model Y in the U.S. until the end of May!
We are getting one in Redmond, Oregon right now ⚡⚡👍
Tesla Semis will deliver the superchargers to their proper sites. Optimus robots will drive Tesla cars to the sites and install everything without any supervision. Soon Optimus robots will replace all Tesla employees. Elon's salary will be $100 billion per year.
And no one will ever get sick, and wars will no longer exist, and every will be rich, and....
As a shareholder, I'm concerned about the firing of the whole supercharger team.
I’m not, perhaps it needed a complete overhaul
As a shareholder, I’m very happy about it.
The half of old staff will be hired again. 😊
@richardlocke7264 I'm also a shareholder and am concerned about the firing of the whole supercharger team as well. The problem is that Elon has too much power. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Elon never planned to fire the whole supercharger team. He just wanted to cut costs across all departments. The problem was that Rebecca Tinucci pushed back. He lost his temper and just fired the whole supercharger team. Now that he's cooled off he is of course well aware that he needs the supercharger network. The thing that boggles my mind are all the Tesla Bulls and members of the cult who think because Elon fired the supercharger team that Tesla doesn't need the supercharger network any more. These are the same people that the day before he did this thought the supercharger network was Tesla's greatest asset worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Then Elon fires the team and they suddenly think it's worthless. Recently there were rumors that BP was going take over the network and they thought that was a great idea. Just imagine that. What a horror story. I constanly see people saying Tesla shouldn't be in the real estate and construction business. They generally do not own the land where they put the superchargers and all of the installation work is contracted out. The Electric Viking is one of few people that has opinions based on facts and not what the Deal Leader Elon says and does.
Yes great way to run a business. Fire them all and rehire half back.
"Musk says" is the new "Once upon a time..." I'll believe it when I see it and given that the entire super charging staff has just been laid off and an email has been sent to contractors NOT to
commence new projects and that outstanding invoices will not be processed in the short term, I don't think we're going to be seeing $500m rolled out to new superchargers anytime soon.
More like we're going to see the existing projects finished...maybe.
A significant chunk of the 500M could be the semi chargers which are much more expensive.
Musk clearly said existing projects will be finished.
Yeap they are shutting down. None of this adds up. Lawsuits are coming.
Well said !
And you would be wrong.
How are they going to do anything with the whole supercharging department gone? Elon is going to hire new people at half the pay?
Elon is hiring at least the half of old supercharging department again. 😊
Makes no sense... he is fixing to take the money and run.
@@danielkoziarski8488 I wouldn’t go back to work for him knowing he fired my ass.
I read that musk asked for a list of people to fire for cost cutting, the list wasn't long enough so musk fired the whole dept. No planning, no rationale or intent. Even hr were taken by surprise.musk is Just an emotional child. You can't find a reason because there wasn't one .
@@danielkoziarski8488 I wouldn’t want to work for someone who fired my ass already
Testla is building new charging stations as on big project large concrete with charging stations on trucked into position very clever
I admit I was confused why almost all other EV channels I watched were upset about this. I was even starting to be concerned about everyone having trouble reaching the Tesla team. Glad 3 of you made more accurate statements. Usually, the EV channels don't fall for most of the media nonsense.
So are they counting on everyone forgetting when nothing very bad happens? Who is they? hahaha The whole thing is sad.
You said that yesterday if I’m not mistaken
I'll believe it when I see it. But, KEEP BUILDING THEM!
I haven't seen any Tesla superchargers vandalized, but I've seen a couple at hotels that were damaged. But, I wondered if the hotel did it themselves because they didn't want to maintain them.
Again, like with the Model 2 program, this looks like Tesla reacting to bad publicity instead of being out ahead on informing the public of its plans.
Am I right that the people experienced in negotiating with utilities, municipalities and land owners are no longer there? How will that work?
I just wish Tesla would put weather protection (roof) over all superchargers, probably with solar panels. In wet or very hot conditions most current supercharges are very unfriendly.
I wonder if the problem wasn’t internal politics occurring within the supercharger team. Sometimes the only way to stop that, is to disband the entire team.
i wonder how can they expand the superchargers if they fired the entire team?
No, the tempestuous Musk is the source of the 'internal politics'.
Wondering if there is really black matter in the universe . There is not.
@@2funny269 they might have fired the team but not the installers
The "politics" is simple. The head of the supercharger team refused to fire a percentage her people, so he fired the whole team. That isn't a business decision, it's dominance. He said he wants everyone to fear losing their jobs.
Top execs quit and have posted about this. Musk simply doesn't believe anyone but Musk himself is indispensable. He's in ahole mode, and the more people tell him he's wrong the more he'll fire. That is abusive behavior and fing with loyal workers' lives.
And now who the hell is operating the supercharger project?
For the first time, I am questioning the actual purpose of having Musk "in charge". He's not, BTW. The board is too busy trying to keep him mentally stable to do THEIR jobs, which is overriding him.
Musk belongs at SpaceX, where this style of management works well. Not a company on the brink of true success.
it’s time for someone with the courage to challenge Tesla’s dominance. Now that there is a pool of talented, experienced, disgruntled people, it’s a great time to pull a team together
Regarding Elan, I'm more moved by Tesla's actions than by Elan's statements. I still don't get why he would release an entire department, but that is what he did. Now, we all wait to see what else really happens. I just want to charge my CSS car on that damn fine network.
Wonderful 👍😊
What of the Bloomberg article of BP oil buying Tesla charging network
And who is going to do the work since everyone allegedly got fired?
Ain't alleged. He did it.
Superchargers is a Tesla main advantage over competitors. Musk had never said he would abandon superchargers, he is just not happy with the old team
I think there will be a lot of mega packs added to charging stations. I'm sure the data he has collected has helped him decide how to move forward. Also there will have to be a lot of effort for the semi charging networks. Finally I'm sure there's plenty of work on speed of charging. Thanks for the show.
Could be Tesla plan to outsource the installation of new supercharges?
Not sure a tweet should be taken as policy.
The S E.C. should fine the sheet out of Elon for all the B.S.
Don't think he exactly stopp it, buit they don't need 500 people!
2 days ago BP announced plans to invest $1 billion in EV charging across the US.
Over what period?
I guess he’s replacing all the staff with robots.
YES , the Robots will play Backgammon 24 hrs a day .
The sad thing is that there are a lot of Tesla Zombies that actually beleive that.
@@arseliopereira2541 Eventually they will. Robots have been replacing UAW members since the 1970's. They are mostly giant arms but they are robots. It will continue at all companies even McDonalds.
@@Ryan-ff2db I agree that many jobs will eventually be replace by humanoid robots. What I was saying is that I've seen people in a bid to justify Elon firing the whole supercharger department beleive that Tesla's supercharger team has been completely replaced by humanoid robots. That is really silly. We're not quite there yet.
@@arseliopereira2541 I haven't seen that but yes that's pretty silly. At least right now.
They have fired the personnel who are needed to carry out this expansion! Who is going to direct the expansion? the janitors?
Probably to put chargers in obscure locations thereby boosting buyer confidence.
Ooooo yes let’s believe Elon 😂
Tesla Supercharges owned by Tesla or others need to expand into recreational areas so you can drive around more in those areas.
Home charging is ideal and it makes Supercharges more available to others, so it serves everybody.
How is he going to do this? by allowing BP to do the installations? Not sure how they can do it without a team.
Posted on X 🎉😊
How can Tesla be expanding their supercharger network after firing their entire supercharger team, including 2 executives? Is that even possible? Perhaps they were just clearing out all of the dead wood unproductive employees. Good for Tesla.
That makes zero sense.
In perspective: let's say it costs $1M to install a single supercharger site. That's only 500 sites.
Maybe the $500M is for the Mega Charger sites for semitrucks because that build-out really needs to happen to make the Tesla Semitrucks more viable.
Fast Charging will reduce need.. so do the Range Increase
Sounds like a lot of money, but where is this being deployed?
USA or the rest of the world?
Great if it's the USA, but we need this spending every month in the UK as the lack of rapid chargers is holding back sales.
Chargers need to be everywhere. In the States, maybe CA may have enough but no one else does
@@travisjazzbo3490 sounds like uk and London
Why fire the entire supercharger team then? Most of them will go to the competition or start their own companies, which in the long run may be a good thing.
It is extremely important to note that these numbers refer to Supercharger sites worldwide, not just in the US. Must does not specify how much he will be spending or how many new Supercharger sites will be built in the US. It could just be in the hundreds and only spent on a few new sites and just expanding existing sites. We will see what happens.
Elon changes his mind by the hour...
the poplar report

Rural Australia needs Superchargers!
Yes
Hay NSW charger is 90 percent built, will make massive difference for Sydney to Adelaide comute, but it's in limbo now...
@@DaveWheeler Cool. I didn’t know that
Well, I've some bad news then.
What company are they going to use to build? as 500 million is the same as Q1 2023 when they had a large team they do not have the capacity to do themselves anymore.
Elon explained his 10% staff reduction, he was only letting go monthly salaried staff, not hourly wage workers in factories. All the staff let go in the Super Charger business were also monthly paid salaried staff, not hourly wage workers building or installing Super Chargers. Good luck with BP employing staff that Elon just discarded, Elon just crippled the competition?
I'd like to see more Tesla Superchargers in Ireland. They are still very sparsely distributed here.
Is this the slower expansion that Elon used to justify the firings? If so, how much were they spending before? It would have had to be many 10s of times this to make so many people redundant. If not, this seems like a “clean up” after a destructive mania phase like some have speculated.
I made a mistake. I meant to say “superchargers” NOT “superconductors.” Sorry.
There is no money to be made in superchargers vs AI and robo taxi. Spend where the return is greatest, Simple business
There are news stories of Tesla superchargers being vandalized. What can be done to protect them?
Very soon people will be wondering why their grandparents owned their own vehicles. Very much like: you are telling me there were elevator operators? NAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
Analogy is not reason.
NO ONE wants to give up their autonomy to Musk. They like cars. MUSK wants it. He cam repeat it all day, but one, he hasn't got FSD, and he's lied to himself and to us about it for seven years.
FSD has to be perfect or it will not fly.
And, please think, with his rep for instability, now confirmed, who wants Musk in charge of all cars in the world? What if he goes full King Mode and starts kicking people out of the autocar network, and it's the only game in town? Twitter with taxis.
Isnt there better, safer and cheaper tech with "charger competitors" like Chargerpoint or even Exro Technologies if they get their certifications?
They're going bankrupt, and oil companies are acquiring them and smothering them with oily pillows.
Elon can you do a charge site in Ullapool (Scotland) 👍
On X you post.
It’s called “posting” not “tweeting”. It was worth $billions to no longer hear a grown man say he tweeted ever again.
😎
Sandy Monroe made a good point, when the engineering and design is done, you no longer need that team, so you lay them off. What's the need for the executives associated with that team if they are gone? You've got a solid product, keep manufacturing it, you don't need people in house to do the installation work, it's an electrical appliance at the end of the day.
Henry Ford fired all his engineers in the late 1920s because he said the Model T couldn’t be improved. But eventually he realized other companies were building better cars and Ford had to build a new car. Technology moves forward with you or without you, improvements are always needed. Maybe it’s Musk’s way to outsource but who knows, he’s a little crazy.
It's like firing all your rocket team because you already have a working falcon rocket. Pure stupidity. Team will goto work for someone else with better future chargers.
But is it really done? They were supposed to be partnering with other vehicle manufacturers so they change over to NACS which would have most likely involved engineers input and assistance to mesh with Tesla. It also wasn’t just engineers but people handling the logistics side for those other manufacturers to onboard to NACS. Tom from State Of Charge who is an Elon fan but also has some great connections to key players said even they were desperately looking for answers because their Tesla SC contact was now gone. I think the truth will be revealed when we see if other manufacturers who said they were going to adopt NACS before the end of this year if they abandon or move forward with their plans for adoptation.
The people in charge of negotiating new sites have been dismissed in a fit of pique.
Believe it or not, workers run the company, not whatever Musk is.
@@larryc1616 I get what you are saying but the latest supercharger is plenty capable enough. Lots of other manufacturers are making cars that can charge faster, but they aren't interested in doing any heavy lifting to bring chargers to market.
I think a better comparison than the rocket is the design and construction of a mine. During that phase you employ a large workforce to design, construct and commission the mine. Once you've taken it through that, you scale back the workforce dramatically to only what you require to operate it.
Fantasyland son. They’re always be nice cars and trucks because some people like them more than one. And they’re always be the hot rodding nostalgia etc. etc. etc. you’re talking 100 years from now maybe All electric
Musk called for a 10% reduction in staff. Charger department didn’t reduce any. The message is clear. When the CEO says reduce staff, that’s what he expects.
That’s a cut off your nose to spite your face kind of move.
Tweets are now Expressions…. Xpressions!!!
I think this is just Elon, reacting to the criticism. I believe his original plan which is that he’ll still be rolling out new sites but very slowly. The emphasis will be on existing sites, maintenance and expansion.
"tweeted" is the old saying.. its "posted on X" now
The new term is "aXed" on X
Is there a social penalty for using old terms? You do understand " tweeted " or did you forget?
I don't mind they changed it to X but they should keep the term TWEETED regardless. It was a great term
I like "Xcreted"
I bought Tesla because og the SUC network
Tesla will build the super chargers but BP and Shell have bought chargers from Tesla to put in their stations,Both companies are energy companies and already have the infrastructure. These people will get hired.There is no reason why Tesla should not partner with other companies .The chargers will just have a different logo on them.
Can't believe anything Musk says. How is he going to create "thousands of new chargers" with nobody working on them?
Fire everyone, reapply for your job, maybe you will be rehired. Get a severance pay, um paid vacation.
This is easy. Tesla is adding new Superchargers at existing sites plus adding new V4 charges at existing sites. You do not need as big a team to do this. Tesla did drop the ball in communications. Many people don’t quite understand how Tesla has 85%+ of the L3 charging market .. they are already a near monopoly. This is not a good thing .. so Tesla should back off new site expansions so that others can take some share.
it's called Post. One posts on X.
Not if we think it's an indulgence of a Fox News grandpa who has no sense of a good name. "Tweet" was singular, it was a brand. "Post" is a dead sound necessitated because "X" doesn't lend itself to anything euphonous and unique.
Always a good plan from Mr Musk
I used to think so, now I'm not sure
he has balance, focus, goals and a plan to improve life in general ...the skill sets to achieve all that .... or teams up with the people who do ... determination and the ability to overcome difficulties/mistakes/problems ... not to mention a fairly decent parent and business person ... not afraid to admit he is not perfect/ or has weaknesses ... etc etc encourages/challenges others to be their best... has a sense of humor ... in spite of his warts .... has pushed (is pushing) forward to achieve something that is meaningful for himself, his family and people in general etc ... if Isaac Asimov had been a businessman (I-robot/the Foundation Trilogy) he might have been a little like Elon - God Bless !
Other companies are jumping on the wagon now like BP Oil. They bought property and Tesla superchargers months ago now. This is all out there if you care to look. Elon has made a choice to focus on the CyberCab and AI. Guess he decided to chop the charging network team as a result.
Looks like the energy storage team at Tesla is doing well, look out guys you are all going to be fired. We can't have nice things. 🙄
You fire then rehire. You get rid of the deadheads. The top engineers and core competency people you never fire, to retain know how. Also you can lay down new rules. Only a few bad apples can destroy a team.
The core competency was fired.
Who fires the unnecessary cannonball CEO?
@davis.fourohfour It's a no no to fire core competency. You cannot easily recover from that.
No more chargers for Houston.
It is called a post.
Musk pivots faster than the Electric Viking…! 😂😂😂
On what.
Oh , that’s well said !!! “ I’ll shut it down “ 😂😂😂
Pump stock, get 55 billion or whatever. Say whatever might accomplish that. He has always done that.
More chargers the better 👍
When will BYD step up to supercharging ???
That is a great question
$500M+ On New Tesla Superchargers, and No staff to manage the massive rollout, because Elon Musk fired the entire Supercharger team. Good luck with that one Elon...
Maybe, with your help, he can become a success.
Watching fanboys decode news of changed business emphases at Tesla is hilarious. Each fanboy conjures up a soothing story, viz. a fantasy, that makes them feel more comfortable about the surprising developments that they are witnessing.
Oil companies lusting after charging locations. stay tuned.
So Tesla announced they are slowing down supercharger deployment and fired most of the charger team but you are saying that was all a lie and the expansion continues?
Gee, wow! And Elon NEVER lies or exaggerates.
Think about it: is it easier to replace a human in a car factory or out in the field installing superchargers? Just saying.
Charger tech is maturing, time for all those engineers to move on.
This is normal in the fortune 40 companies I worked with.
That's the problem
Tech employment is a free will agreement, not a contract. Only self employed own their jobs, until there's no demand anyway.. It's not a problem to most of the engineers I know. Tesla isn't unique in this matter.
Musk is brilliant BUT he needs to get his SH together!
