#Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles + getting rid of public policy team, despite robotaxi ambitions.

"Customers not turned off by #Musk's antics instead are losing interest w product lineup of 2 EVs that are ancient in car years (the Models S and X) & 2 EVs that are merely old (the Models 3 and Y)..Any other automaker would have 2nd-gen Model 3 ready to go either this yr or next, but at Tesla, the product pipeline is empty"

Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles

Tesla is also getting rid of its public policy team, despite robotaxi ambitions.

@GottaLaff that's incredibly sloppy reporting. Both model x and s had full refresh. That's the plaid version you'll see on drag racing yt beating dedicated drag cars.

Model 3 highlander is full refresh. Model y as well.

When it gets that sloppy hard to take story seriously which is problem because there are real issues. Also totally ignores new cybertruck shipping now and scaling up. And the semi in low volume production.

I'm not a musk fanboy but this missed the real stories totally.
