I hope that's a wakeup call to all the other automakers who announced plans to switch from CCS to NAC"S"

Big fucking mistake basing future plans on that company

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Well, not necessarily.

Short term, they dramatically increased access to credible fast charging.

Longer term, near as I can tell, third party NACS fast charging will commence. So while this may be a disaster for Tesla and the Tesla charging network per se, long term it has room for another company to come along and displace Tesla.

If such a company were looking for a team to drive such an initiative, it seems we all know where to find one now...

Why does it matter? The standard is now open and can be used by everyone. It's just like CCS now from a usability pov but with many more chargers

Ahhh, the trustworthy test. Sounds like the same type of test that Trump plans to use in his hiring process. Coincidence? I think not. All part of the fascist playbook.

There's a ton of software running on these chargers, right? They need to handle financial transactions, metadata, etc. What happens when something requires maintenance in a month/week/day?

The electric car company who spent years pissing off liberals is faling? whodathunkit

Yeah to this day I don't understand this "genius" business move. My redneck conservative dad sure as hell isn't buying an electric vehicle anytime soon, even if you put a giant MAGA hat on it.

Oh Tesla gets the Twitter treatment. At that rate it will be renamed X within the next 7 months. Better make sure X (formerly known as Twitter) has been terminated by then otherwise they have to sue each other...

Well, this can only end well ...

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago

I mean . . this is the end. Everything after this is just paperwork and scrabbling for scraps.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 16 points 6 months ago (1 children)

One bad quarter and they're doing this? I don't even.

[–] Hypx@fedia.io 15 points 6 months ago

The company is pretty much a big scam. There’s a reason why Moskovitz calls it the next Enron. Musk would turn it into a crypto company if he thought it would pump up the stock more. As a result, the actual business side of Tesla doesn’t really need to work.

[–] Granite@kbin.social 13 points 6 months ago (8 children)

No longer a car company then…

I wonder what this means this for the SAE and USDOT adopting the Tesla charging network and connector as standard for future EV development.
