I won't pretend to know more than @elonmusk about Supercharging, but equally, after previously representing ~40K Tesla owners in the UK over the last few years to our Government, Tesla and other parties, I feel without the Tesla Supercharger network Tesla wouldn't have sold anywhere near as many cars to date, the supercharger team are arguably the biggest salespeople in the world for Tesla (even if they don't directly sell cars)! #ChickenOrEggScenario So it has shocked me (and many within the UK/Globally it seems) that Tesla has decided to reduce this supercharger team down (supposedly dramatically in places), I'm yet to hear the fate of the UK/EU teams. The feelings that I'm seeing at the minute is that most existing owners believe that the network should continue to expand at rapid rates not just for their own selfish wants/needs but because it's clearly urgently needed in some key places, it's the right thing to do for the mission but primarily because we're only just getting started with EV sales! With many Tesla supercharger sites opening to the public whilst providing the best level of service/uptime etc for everyone and some key sites urgently needing expansion it's time to capitalise on this desire and not slow down this incredible part of the business / mission in my opinion. My only other thought is that Tesla's V4 superchargers need some urgent work on them (they're clearly prone to damage more so than V2/V3 and the clips suck) so this is why we're seeing this action/change? 🤷‍♂️ Whilst Tesla's goal of pushing legacy Auto to make the switch to EVs is arguably now complete, surely it's too soon to slow down this momentum? Elon, could we kindly ask you to please provide owners more information on this decision?
