I hadn’t heard, until today, that Tesla had fired their team that works on expansion of their superchargers. This sounds like a huge further setback to the declining company and the EV business in general. This was reported April 29 by Steve LeVine in “The Information” and on May 1 by Aarian Marshall in “The Gear” and quoted by “Wired” today. I missed all of that until this morning.
Here is the link to the “Wired” article this morning, so you can read it for yourself:

Thanks for clicking on my substack.
Not certain any additional moves by Tesla are a further setback, but rather all symptomatic of losing money on every unit sold.
Very interesting article. The author takes pains to explain that the EV chargers will move forward regardless of whether Tesla does it or not. I don’t know what Musk is thinking to make this abrupt about face with Tesla’s charging infrastructure but it does seem very odd because there is all sorts of government funding sloshing around. If they can’t make it work with that, how can it work?
