Why? NACS is a lot better. It's not owned by Tesla, other charging networks will be using it and replacing CCS with NACS as well

Maybe the Saudi investors who own him have finally called in the favor and told him it's time to put an end to the EV transition...
Some hits from the current round of shareholder voting:
Yes Elmo, I'm sure that will solve your problems. Well done.
Well that's embarrassing
Maybe I skimmed that too quickly, but it looks like this is just the execs on top of those departments, not the people working within them.
Musk told workers that Tesla "will continue to build out some new Supercharger locations, where critical, and finish those currently under construction."
Sounds to me like the plan is to finish what is already under contract and do no more. I sure am glad the US authorities committed to that north american charger standard... what's even the status on getting a full specification for it including third-party development at this point anyway?
I can't pull a quote for the new vehicle development team's situation because Tesla basically just keeps making the Model 3 with barely even incremental improvements to it, and even that one has totally inconsistent build quality vehicle to vehicle. Unless someone thinks the Cybertruck is going to save them -- hah.

All of which makes the decision to get rid of senior director of EV charging Rebecca Tinucci—along with her entire team—a bit of a head-scratcher.
