Tesla’s Interns Reportedly Feeling the Wrath of Elon Musk

Musk undercuts the Biden admin's EV charging initiative:

"Elon Musk has upended a deal the WH saluted early last year to open Tesla’s chargers to other automakers, dealing a blow to Pres Biden’s EV agenda.

Musk decided in the last week to eliminate almost the entire Supercharger team at Tesla. He hasn’t publicly confirmed the move or offered a rationale, but has said the co will slow the expansion of its charging network."

Musk hasn't revealed his plans after he cut Tesla's Supercharger Team. Ford thinks the EV station buildout will be fine, but GM is concerned:

"Elon Musk’s move to lay off the department responsible for Tesla’s electric vehicle chargers has touched off worries in the auto industry that EVs from other automakers will have trouble joining Tesla’s network."

I think Toyota was right all along.

It’s an unpopular opinion among EV purists, but I think hybrids will reduce a lot more carbon emissions than BEVs, for the simple reason that way more people can switch. Even without access to charging outlets, hybrids are far more efficient thanks to their regenerative braking. With access to outlets, they are as good as EVs within their electric range, which will account for most of the daily commutes of their owners, and all with far smaller batteries and better costs of ownership than BEVs.

The way to eliminate emissions due to personal transportation is not to put people in BEVs. It’s to *eliminate commutes* and massively invest in (electrified) public transportation.

EVs are losing their steam.

I'd argue that part of why EVs aren't selling well is that EV makers are making too many expensive luxury vehicles and not enough mainstream vehicles.
