Musk’s tweet re supercharger in the article said it all, too much focus on expansion and not enough focus on increasing availability and reliability of the existing infra.
- NewJazz 2y agoThat is utter BS, though. The supercharger network has been complimented as the most reliable charging network in north american for years now. How are you going to maintain the network after firing all the talent? Why do expansion and maintenance have to be at odds?
- CodeWriter23 2y agoNational and Regional service companies that will inventory spares nearby and have available professionals to replace faulty units do exist. How much talent does making some phone calls and signing a contract require?
- NewJazz 2y agoClearly a lot considering the general state of the chargepoint, evgo, and ea networks. Also consider that Tesla's chargers have thus far failed to achieve 800V charging, which is a death knell for any future facing network.
- CodeWriter23 2y ago> Also consider that Tesla's chargers have thus far failed to achieve 800V charging, which is a death knell for any future facing network. You're conflating ops with engineering issues.
- NewJazz 2y agoI'm not. I'm merely adding evidence that maintenance-only is not a coherent business decision for the supercharger network.
- CodeWriter23 2y agoIf the Electrical Engineers were included in this layoff I would be surprised. But as you say, they failed to meet the 800v goal, so they probably deserve it too.
