#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"

@GottaLaff anyone with investments in Tesla as a company needs to ask themselves why Elon Musk decided to make huge cuts in the only portion of the business that was profitable, rather than spinning off the Supercharger technology into its own company, or selling it.

Because there are two possible answers, and neither one of them is good news.

@Lana @GottaLaff "It's super important to pay the CEO 65 billion dollars RIGHT THE FUCK NOW" is not, uh, what a company with a healthy board or governance structure ever says.
