Elon Musk goes ‘absolutely hard core’ in another round of Tesla layoffs
Elon Musk goes ‘absolutely hard core’ in another round of Tesla layoffs
Almost the entire Supercharger team is reportedly out.
The one Tesla thing I consistently hear is well done and maintained is the Superchargers. I guess Elon is fixing that discrepancy.
Charging is literally the only reason why I would ever consider a Tesla over another EV. The non-Tesla networks are often significantly underpowered for fast-charging, or straight up broken. And not all of Tesla’s network is open to non-Tesla EVs and or non-Tesla NACS EVs. If you want full access to the largest, fastest, and most reliable network, you need a Tesla.
But I guess Musk now wants to put that at risk too.
We had a 3 and even though Musk was already an asshole idiot, we ended up swapping it out for a Y instead of another EV because the network is leaps and bounds ahead of everyone else. If they screw this up + keep opening it up to other manufacturers (which they should, that’s a good thing) I don’t see anyone our next cars being a Tesla.
It would free many of us. I've got 2 Teslas in my garage and nothing that uses gas anymore. Tesla made a decent EV / Tech, but the car itself is shitty and cheap. If there was another all electric car built by an established manufacturer with it's own network I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
The only other thing that Tesla really nailed (and that I would miss) is uniform pricing with online order. I don't want to go play the dealership middle salesman game ever again if I can help it.
I would say there is a second thing: the uniform pricing and direct to customer sales model.
If he really wants to cut costs, he only needs to fire 1.
Musk is absolutely frantic because he didn't get his $56 billion bonus, he is all over the place, promising things that are impossible and insane, expecting us to still believe it, despite his many lies previously.
The Tesla bot Optimus can already do practical work, he claims while not being able to show anything but a bot that looks like it's shitting its pants, while it walks slowly looking like it's about to trip for every step. Also the RoboTAXI is now only months away, despite he is barely able to show a car navigating a parking lot.
Elon Next Year Musk is a wannabe on AI, he is so far behind it's only funny when he makes his ridiculous claims.How much was it he claimed you could make buying a Tesla 3? AFAIK it was $200,000 Because full self driving was ready NOW, and you could make money buying a Tesla. Why is he not sued to oblivion for those claims?
Edit: Corrected bot from Xai to Tesla, Xai makes grok which is an "I can do that too" LLM.
I don't know how one man can think he can do the output of 20% of his engineers.
We aren't going to see another model Tesla after this are we?
Nope, a car company with no car design team won't be making new models.
Tesla shows what's wrong with capitalism - companies bloat on speculation driven in this case by a show man. Tesla is a house of cards - it squandered it's first-move advantage, the competition are now building better EVs, and it's self-drive technology is a lemon because Elon decided to remove all the essential sensors in his solution to reduce cost.
Meanwhile his competitors are getting licenses to self drive and Tesla have jackshit. Robo-taxis are coming but they won't have the Tesla logo on them.
Reminder that 55billion is 10k per Tesla sold, ever.
Yes it's an absolutely insane amount.
I'd call him a number of things but "hard core" is not among them.
His commitment to pissing away his wealth is pretty hard core.
I believe it’s a play on him saying that those staying at twitter needed to be “extremely hardcore” to make all of the stupid changes he’s made over the last year and a half.

Got to find the 50 Billion he has done nothing to deserve somehow.
“trustworthy test”
Ah, there’s the crux of it.
Hard sore really
