I will say that Tel Aviv and Haifa both have excellent engineers. As Tesla grows I'd be a bit surprised if they didn't have engineers in Israel. That said, most of the engineering is still based out of Silicon Valley, so that might be why?
As a tesla fan and owner, I hope you get your superchargers. I've heard rumors that they've just started seriously producing the supercharger v3 hardware at the Buffalo, NY factory (Gigafactory 2), so maybe as that ramps up you'll be good.
Consider tweeting @elonmusk and asking. I did that for slow parts delivery and had the issue resolved in two days.

- chiph 7y agoThey need some good engineers, sure. But what they really need is someone who can produce better welds.
- zaroth 7y agoFor Y they are just going to stamp the whole frame out in one fell swoop. > Another new innovation revealed in the patents is a “Multi-Directional Unibody Casting Machine for a Vehicle Frame and Associated Methods.” Musk himself let this cat out of the bag earlier on by revealing the new casting machine will be capable of casting almost the entire body of a Tesla EV in one piece. > This startling innovation will virtually eliminate the need for a tremendous number of welds across an EV body. They also reduced the total length of wiring from 1.5km to 100m in the Y.
- SEJeff 7y agoNah that’s SpaceX, not Tesla. The S and X use a lot of friction stir welding, which machines do anyways not humans.
