is that the team that installs, maintains and runs the service for the chargers?

If so thats massive news, heard he was looking to cut 10% of all his staff, had no idea it was entire sections especially one so crucial to the EV market.

thats a massive red flag, as much as I have a bee in my bonnet on the cybertruck for genuine proper reasons. I dont have a grudge towards the tesla company. I am looking forward to their new roadster however this may have implications for that and the rest of their range.

Every single truck that was sold since November will need to go back to be fixed, shouldnt be too much of a problem however given that they haven't even sold 4,000 of them yet. which is quite a jump from the 150,000 per year that Musk said it would be capable of from day 1 and miles off the 250,000 he predicted after 1 year

I though Muskyboy was a genius

Right up there with Apple and Vision Pro it seems (regarding sales). Exec just not being able to read the market is a little crazy to me

He treats great people as wearable parts, asks too much from them and if anything falls short he dumps them. Rinse and repeat

Sounds like most medium/large corps that I have worked with/for to be honest

Mercedes and BMW both have vehicles which match or better the range of teslas.

China is entering the ev market in a big way.

If you want a luxury vehicle there are much better options than the tesla

If you want distance there are much better models

If you want a budget ev there are now great options out there.

Musk went and annoyed a huge number of his user base with his antics on and with twitter.

Tesla in no way stands out above other ev brands anymore, and those brands don't have an owner who is deemed toxic by a huge number of people who are more likely to own an ev.

That and the fact that their most visual product has had numerous failures or problems.

And they/he are Israel (genocide) supporting garbage

"Rust spots" are now developing on the Cybertrucks due to rain. Its not proper rust but surface rust whilst not damaging the shell is staining them. they are not able to wash off and need to be buffed.

Any truck exposed up to 2 days of rain is showing this.

on the upside however, for $6,000, Tesla offers to wrap the trucks in a black or white paint film, which the company says covers all exterior stainless-steel surfaces, and protects against scratches, and stains according to its website. A clear paint film is also available for $5,000.
