Almost the entire Supercharger team is reportedly out.

    The one Tesla thing I consistently hear is well done and maintained is the Superchargers. I guess Elon is fixing that discrepancy.

      Charging is literally the only reason why I would ever consider a Tesla over another EV. The non-Tesla networks are often significantly underpowered for fast-charging, or straight up broken. And not all of Tesla’s network is open to non-Tesla EVs and or non-Tesla NACS EVs. If you want full access to the largest, fastest, and most reliable network, you need a Tesla.

      But I guess Musk now wants to put that at risk too.

      We had a 3 and even though Musk was already an asshole idiot, we ended up swapping it out for a Y instead of another EV because the network is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else. If they screw this up + keep opening it up to other manufacturers (which they should, that’s a good thing) I don’t see anyone our next cars being a Tesla.

    If he really wants to cut costs, he only needs to fire 1.
    Musk is absolutely frantic because he didn’t get his $56 billion bonus, he is all over the place, promising things that are impossible and insane, expecting us to still believe it, despite his many lies previously.
    The Tesla bot Optimus can already do practical work, he claims while not being able to show anything but a bot that looks like it’s shitting its pants, while it walks slowly looking like it’s about to trip for every step. Also the RoboTAXI is now only months away, despite he is barely able to show a car navigating a parking lot.
    Elon Next Year Musk is a wannabe on AI, he is so far behind it’s only funny when he makes his ridiculous claims.

    How much was it he claimed you could make buying a Tesla 3? AFAIK it was $200,000 Because full self driving was ready NOW, and you could make money buying a Tesla. Why is he not sued to oblivion for those claims?

    Edit: Corrected bot from Xai to Tesla, Xai makes grok which is an “I can do that too” LLM.

    I’d call him a number of things but “hard core” is not among them.
