With numerous manufacturer making the switch to Tesla's Supercharger system, the future looks murky.
This week, Elon Musk laid off the entire team of Tesla's vaunted Supercharger network, according to an email obtained by The Information. After laying off Senior Director of Tesla's Supercharger group, Rebecca Tinucci, the email went on to say that everyone working underneath Tinucci would also be terminated, totaling around 500 Supercharger-specific employees.
'If Tesla is yielding the charging crown, who will step up?'It's unclear why Musk decided to dissolve the entire Supercharger team, particularly when manufacturers like Ford, Volkswagen, and Rivian are committing to adopting the Tesla-compatible NACS plug standard and hashing deals to use Tesla's Supercharger. Similarly, Tesla's extensive network of chargers is known as reliable, quick, and well-placed.
