    Report: Tesla lays off entire Supercharger team! [Update: Elon Musk says supercharger growth will continue]

    There's no doubt about the opportunity. We all know there aren't enough DC Fast Chargers out there. I can't even travel to my favorite vacation spot right now because there would be no place for me to charge along the highway unless I'm lucky enough to book a night at a campground that...

    Report: Tesla lays off entire Supercharger team! [Update: Elon Musk says supercharger growth will continue]

    There's still quite a bit of money on the table for companies to profit from charging, but that's only a small part of the story. Tesla still offers free chargers to many of their early adopters for life because they originally didn't build those chargers to earn money from the power. Those...

    Report: Tesla lays off entire Supercharger team! [Update: Elon Musk says supercharger growth will continue]

    Yes... Nor have hey opened the 2 DC chargers in the same lot. As you know, there are virtually no commercial DC chargers on the Island, just the ones from the Parks Department at the beach. Looking forward to seeing your CT parked next to my truck for a photo op. :)

    Report: Tesla lays off entire Supercharger team! [Update: Elon Musk says supercharger growth will continue]

    You nailed the most important thing that many of us ignored; he's just cleaning house and will definitely re-build the SuperCharger division to improve it, not reduce it. They make it sound like he's giving up on growing the SuperCharger network, when the most likely thing is that he wants to...

    Report: Tesla lays off entire Supercharger team! [Update: Elon Musk says supercharger growth will continue]

    The "Entire Staff".... What the heck? I can't see how that could be entirely true. They need boots on the ground to install and maintain locations, so perhaps they just mean the design or management team.

    Elon Musk Just Taught a Huge Lesson to Every CEO in America. I Hope They're Paying Attention

    I definitely I definitely didnā€™t want to give the dealer my business, but I literally ran out of options. My truck was there over 4 months, and they even told me there were other vehicles there for longer than thatā€¦ one over 6 months and counting. I simply wanted the ordeal to end and since...

    Elon Musk Just Taught a Huge Lesson to Every CEO in America. I Hope They're Paying Attention

    Believe it or not... They just sold one of them... to me. I wasn't planning on getting a Mach-e, but I was between a rock and a hard place. My F-150 was at the dealership for over 4 months with potentially months more to go until they figure out what's wrong with it. There wasn't a clear...

    Elon Musk Just Taught a Huge Lesson to Every CEO in America. I Hope They're Paying Attention

    That sounds about right. Iā€˜ve paid Ford above sticker for two other cars and I refuse to do it again. Itā€™s bad enough they grab another $3000 - $5000 on their extended warranties and dealer installed nonsense, so paying above sticker just because they know their competitors have low inventory...

    Elon Musk Just Taught a Huge Lesson to Every CEO in America. I Hope They're Paying Attention

    What blows my mind is that they've done all this without wasting untold millions in billboards, TV commercials, 2 page magazine ads, etc.. The bottom line is that although every major company clearly has supply chain issues, every car dealership in my area still has hundreds of unsold cars in...

    Cybertruck Size & Inconsiderate people

    There's a very fine line between people from New York vs Boston. It's mainly the accent.

    Cybertruck Size & Inconsiderate people

    [two cents] I'm a New Yorker. The speed limit is only 50 MPH in NYC and there are thousands of cameras that give you a ticket for going over 25 miles per hour on most of our roads (Unfortunately, this is not a joke). We tend to be aggressive in other ways because the traffic is so bad that we...

    Ford patents mobile charging solution for EVs like the Mach-E — by towing them

    They would need to drag it pretty far before gaining any realistic power. By then they's pass quite a few charging stations capable of a much quicker charge. Keep in mind that unlike a regular tow, the EV would put a significant drag on the vehicle towing it, which is why they're showing a...

    Ford patents mobile charging solution for EVs like the Mach-E — by towing them

    I went head to head with a Patent Troll back in the 90s. He made a lot of money suing companies for violating his loosely worded patent ideas. He never even built prototypes for any of his patents. They were just concepts without plans to actually make them happen. In my case, he patented...

    Ford patents mobile charging solution for EVs like the Mach-E — by towing them

    You are probably right, but even if they're not trying to block companies from adding this kind of feature, it's just plain silly because nobody should expect generating power while being towed to be a better solution than simply towing the stranded EV to a power source. Even if somebody...

    Ford patents mobile charging solution for EVs like the Mach-E — by towing them

    What I find funny is that Ford PATENTED this? What for? Turning a motor to generate electricity is basic science. Motors and generators are fundamentally the same technology. Give a motor power, it turns. Turn the motor, it generates power like a generator. What's the point of a patent...
