Just got my email to proxy vote on TSLA. Elon’s comp package is on there

I will guess our friend Lex has a Tesla.

And maybe some merch too. Haha

Maybe some people have signatures disabled?

AMIRZA786

You can't see signatures on mobile browsers unless you switch to full desktop mode. Also I notice that if you edit a post on a mobile browser, the signature disappears

You can't make this stuff up, they are cancelling new superchargers globally.

Looks like the summer interns got cut too, which will dramatically improve productivity. lol

Margate330

What do you all think is really going on?

Is Tesla predicting a decline in all car sales globally coming soon?

I think Elon knows something and not telling. Lol

​​​​​​​I can't see him scrapping new locations unless they are bleeding money or if his crystal ball is a prediction of things to come.

This is just my take...building supercharger networks is expensive. States like California offer tax incentives for EV's, solar, charging etc. Now California EV rebate fund has run dry and as of December 2023, is not offered anymore, and probably tax incentives for charging also may be drying up. And with the Federal government taking large chunks of our tax money and sending them to foreign governments to fund wars, I'm pretty sure all the EV and charging incentives are going away. Add on top of that a global slowdown of EV adoption, I think it's purely a business decision.

Anyway, that's what I think, if I'm wrong someone prove me otherwise

i would make a difference there.

There is a huge difference between cutting some programs such as internships, and disbanding complete supercharger team.

Nobody cares about internship program, for that to work a lot of people at Tesla had to give it a lot of time and they might not have that time today.

spwolf

It might be true that it is capital heavy.

However, disbanding whole team makes little sense. And this is actually worldwide. In Europe Tesla has gotten around 100 million in grants for building Superchargers in next year for instance.

Hey you are pissed at the team leader since she didnt listen and it is your company, you can fire her. It is not performing? Fire 50% of the team.
But to disband it so all the partners and contractors get nobody to talk to anymore? Pretty insane.

I am sure all the NACS partners feel amazing about this. Same goes for utilities that you are going to have to use for your existing site expansions.

I get what you are saying, it sucks and is not ideal for BEV adoption. But Tesla has been known to do stuff like this. For example, in 2015 I had solar panels installed by Solarcity. After Tesla acquired them, all CS disappeared. Literally. I ended up getting more solar panels installed through Sunrun. The Sunrun guy told me that after the Tesla acquisition of Solarcity, multiple solar installs were abandoned by Tesla, with Solar panels and inverters sitting in people's backyards collecting dust

spwolf

it is not ideal for Tesla, and it is not ideal for Tesla owners.

I bet he goes in and re-hires bunch of them like he does.

But you dont treat your partners like that though.
