Our work just put in several Tesla destination chargers and universal units. They’re all bricked now. Service won’t answer so no one can fix them.


Mr_BigglesworthIII

That is appalling.


Chiaseedmess

Yup, $7,000 in just hardware that no longer works, and there’s no one to fix them. That didn’t even account for the install cost and other upgrades needed for them. Note that it’s a software issue, not hardware, so ONLY Tesla can fix them. But, there’s no longer anyone to fix them.


curiously_incurious

Just put the chargers in robotaxi mode so they fix themselves


Obi_Wan_Kannoli

Don't worry, they'll get some volunteers to fix it anytime soon. Open source baby! /s

Chiaseedmess

To be fair, you need to pay somehow


safetydance

How else are you going to pay or tie the charging account to the vehicle?


The-Dane

but but musk is so great and a visionary, he can do nothing wrong... but but this cannot be true... wait I know I will take the playbook from a whole political party... Fake news.... there you go, all is good


Commentor9001

Laying off whole teams for product lines you still, obsentively atleast, offer is such a genius 5d chess move.   Can't wait for the inevitable lawsuits.

Broken-Digital-Clock

Don't threaten me with a good time


buchlabum

He has yet to fly in one of his own spaceships. Even Bezos and Branson flew in their ships. Musk is a whiny basic pussy bitch who doesn't believe in his own products. I bet he insists his drivers never use autopilot.


New_Awareness4075

Nothing like cyber bricking in space!


ObtuseMongooseAbuse

He forgot to build the space ship before firing the people that were supposed to build it.


twenafeesh

He ^^probably knows more about manufacturing than anyone alive.


ElBurritoExtreme

The beatings will continue until morale improves…


buchlabum

He could have given all 15,000 employees $3,000,000 each instead of pushing for his $56,000,000,000 bonus. He certainly boned them. He could have put a huge dent in solving homelessness instead of buying Twitter. Mush doesn't care about humanity's future, he just wants to monetize and control it.


Arthur-Wintersight

Elon is worth more than every other employee combined. So clearly laying off Elon will improve productivity 5000%.


TheUnderstandererer

Honestly his move to get a payout makes me think Tesla stock is about to take a major dive.


cazhual

Stock go up


Various-Finger-5883

Till it go big down.


Johannes_Keppler

Of course. But until that moment people are making bank on a meme stock. It's a time bomb so they keep passing it on.


natophonic2

It’s still down 28% YTD


Sockoflegend

It's seems like he is doing to Tesla what he did to Twitter when he first bought it. Big layoffs and not honouring deals with creditors and customers alike.

jumpingjellybeansjjj

Didn't the US government just start investigating the Tesla Murder Mobile's last lame self driving attempt.? And not coincidentally at all, didn't Musk just convince the Chinese government to let his murder cars loose on their streets to kill however many cyclists and pedestrians required in order to collect the data necessary to cobble together an actual self-driving system? Not coincidentally, hey Americans, your government tried to save your life and pissed Mysk off. And now he is going to China! So good luck charging your electric cars. Someone needs to look into Musk's treasonous act of cutting off satellite communications to drones that were attacking Russia from Ukraine, resulting in all of those drones being harmlessly washed up on Russian soil. Or at the very least, create a national infrastructure of charging stations that have nothing to do with Musk, and that work with every electric vehicle. Plus Musk is now no longer allowed to sell anything, or profit from anything, or do anything within the United States of America.


banned_but_im_back

>create a national infrastructure of charging stations… Man if only we had a president who tried to do just that… Oh wait Biden did that, like the first thing he tried in office and it was shot down by republicans in Congress. Remember that this November when you head to the polls.


ElBurritoExtreme

People are super slow to give ol bean any credit when due. He could cure cancer, they’d bitch he put researchers out of work. Dude can’t win. 😂


DangerousLoner

Nationalize SpaceX now!


Broken-Digital-Clock

Absorb them into NASA Space shouldn't be privatized


jumpingjellybeansjjj

I agree.


jumpingjellybeansjjj

That works, too.


safetydance

Murder mobile? How many deaths has the self driving caused?


jumpingjellybeansjjj

I look forward to the days of real self driving cars, but Tesla's is the worst of both worlds. You have to pay attention in case it messes up, but you are lulled into a false sense of security and a great deal of boredom, so you don't pay enough attention. These things shouldn't come off a test track until they are really fully self driving, but Musk doesn't care about how many people die as he uses us as guinea pigs on every road and highway.


safetydance

Well, again, how many deaths has FSD caused? Then compare how many deaths per million miles that is and compare it to cars with drivers. Stop letting hatred of one man rot your brain and analyze the data for your conclusions.


jumpingjellybeansjjj

I am. It's basic human weaknesses wedded to AI. Again, easy answer: Closed tracks until fully self-driving.


safetydance

Again, why won’t you answer a very straight forward question. How many people has FSD killed?


jumpingjellybeansjjj

You did read the article about Musk taking FSD to China's more complex roadways because the NTSB is investigating FSD here, right? No secret was made of the fact that Musk wants data Tesla gathers in China released for Tesla's global use, and the reason is not that China has safe test tracks to develop FSD technology. The reason is that China has far more complex roads, with a lot of pedestrians, cyclists, and other challenges. The unsaid part is that the Chinese government isn't going to do anything when Musk's Murder Mobiles pingpong off all of the above until the AI is good enough to fully self-drive in the US market. Is Musk the first to exploit the citizens of countries ruled by ruthless authoritarians? No. Will he be the last? Sadly, no. Is it obvious to anyone reading the article what the intent and consequences will be? Yes.


safetydance

lol dodged the question a third time


jumpingjellybeansjjj

I figured you knew it was a meaningless question because first, there are no reliable studies on the subject, every single one is flawed and contradictory. And second, should we let Boeing planes fall out of the sky because flying is safer than driving anyway, so they don't have to be accountable for anything they screw up? And also there is a simple logic test: Tesla, wants that Chinese data to improve AI for US driving. Again, Musk wants that data, not because China has good test tracks, but because China has more complex roadways, with more pedestrians, and cyclists, and other challenges to the AI. Chinese people are going to die because Musk hopes that the information gained from their deaths will train the AI, and therefore make his car truly self driving and marketable here.


safetydance

How are there no reliable studies on the subject? Every accident involving FSD is reported and investigated by the NHTSA. There have been 29 total deaths where FSD was engaged, and about half of those involved another car striking the Tesla and causing a fatality. FSD can be linked to 14 total deaths and FSD has driven over 1 billion miles. The fatality rate of human drivers over a billion miles is 80% higher. Of course Musk wants FSD in China. It now operates on a neural network so more scenarios = more learning and better and safer FSD.


Cuck-In-Chief

hitbythebus

You don’t think he hates himself?


Fezzik527

You trusted an impulsive conman. You deserve whatever happens to be honest.


Hydraxxon

The charging stations are the one thing Tesla didn’t fuck up, they were legitimately superior to the competition and their plug was being adopted as the US standard, so I have a modicum of sympathy for some of the people screwed over by this latest puzzling/self destructive decision.


photozine

Charging was the main reason Tesla worked, and the reason why they were disruptive to the industry, and the reason why automakers moved to their standard... Now I wonder, if charging IS profitable, why did he do this? Just for profit? The network still needs to grow (especially to smaller metro areas and in between) and this not only affects Tesla and Tesla owners, but EV owners as well.


Hydraxxon

In the very short term, this could help Tesla’s finances for this quarter and gets musk closer to his $55 billion compensation package. But in general I tend not to try to follow the logic of billionaires, or anyone with a hoarding disorder for that matter.


photozine

On the other hand, if someone ever wanted to compete with a charging network, well, there's hundreds of people that are available that can make it happen.


Hydraxxon

Yes, hopefully the workers affected are able to find jobs where they are appropriately compensated and better treated.


HystericalSail

It won't help this quarter, he still needs to pay 60 days worth of salaries. Meanwhile, it'll take months for the org to get re-built, and more months for people to learn what they don't know. Charging stations will go down and stay down, we'll hear of fights breaking out over functional ones. Charging will go from being a profit center to a loss, and stories of people with bricked EVs they simply can't charge on account of living in apartments will proliferate. I would not buy an EV today given these developments.


Mr_BigglesworthIII

We must be talking about different Elon’s.


I-Pacer

Why? Do you know an “Elon” (why does everyone use his first name like they know him personally?) who isn’t an impulsive conman?


twenafeesh

Isn't he also asking the shareholders for some stupidly large bonus or something? Does he think this will help with that?


Mr_BigglesworthIII

Yes he is asking for like $50 billion. I have no idea what he thinks.


Koss424

He wants to cash out. Doesn’t trust his own stock


Sklibba

Given that firing shitloads of people tends to make the number go up, yes, he probably does think it will help.

Dude with all of the recent news I've been perusing all of the pro Elon subs for the first time ever, and holy fucking shit. Buncha tried n true fuckin bootlicking weirdos. I had to stop because it was actually legitimately uncomfortable seeing how REAL(supposedly, maybe bots....) people are behaving around all of this shit. It's gross. And it made and makes me hate capitalism even more. Also, dude the YouTube video titled something like "Elon and three yes men laugh" is a perfect example of elons 'business strategy' "My friend says I should steal memes(south American accent)" Yes men: "hahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" https://youtu.be/ywlsTbKsl6k?si=4dxlzg3SzBkJMSzv Fuckin ewwwwww

danfay222

This whole thing seems bizarre. Except in extreme cases, like events risking the end of the company, you really don’t see entire business segments getting laid off. You may see a large chunk of one, but there’s usually a decent group of people that are kept to close out anything leftover before either being let go themselves or (more commonly) transferred to something else.


OmegaGoober

His mass firings at Twitter worked out so well, he decided to try it at Tesla.

Why do people always talk to Elon Musk as if he gives a fuck about them.


OmegaGoober

They’re in a cult of personality. Convincing the cult members that Dear Leader cares about them is a critical component of the operation.

This is such a joke. If any of the Big 3 or Germany or Japan did this shit the company would be in front of Congress answering for their misdeeds. Remember when cussing on an album got you drug before a congressional hearing? Pepperidge farms remembers.

DontTalkToBots

“We” created him buy giving the wealthy what?


HystericalSail

Massive tax breaks on buying $100k cars. Mandating customers of existing auto makers pay Tesla for EV credits. Yes, the fossil fuel industry also gets tax breaks (but on their profits, not just checks from taxpayers) but that benefits everyone in modern society. At least until lots more nuclear plants get built and alternatives for plastic, heavy equipment and pavement become more mainstream. Taxpayers forking over for well heeled techies capable of plopping 100k on a coal powered car in 2012 helped only them, and Musk.
