Tesla is already pulling back Supercharger plans after Elon Musk came in like a wrecking ball and fired the whole charging team.
As reported earlier today and since confirmed by many departing Tesla employees,
Elon Musk has fired Tesla’s entire charging team.
In an email announcing the move, the CEO said that Tesla would continue building Supercharger stations that are currently under construction without further commenting on how the lack of charging team will impact Tesla’s plan to grow the critical EV charging network.
We now learn that there are already direct impacts on planned future Supercharger stations.
Sources familiar with the matter told
Electrek that Tesla backed out of four leases for upcoming Supercharger locations in New York: one in Maspeth, South Bronx, two in Queens, and one in Gateway Center, Brooklyn.
