Tesla has benefited enormously from Chinese EV subsidies. Its numbers will be a lot worse if those go away.

This is a social media post by Dustin Moskowitz, founder of Asana and Facebook billionaire:
I know I sound crazy to most people who don't follow $TSLA closely but at this point it really needs to be said. This is Enron now, folks.It may keep going, but people are going to jail at the end. The data is presented in fraudulent ways, and it doesn't say what they claim it says even when they make it up.Tesla has committed consumer fraud on a massive scale, from lying about FSD, ranges and (recently, unconfirmed!) even inflating odometers. Many times now, also securities fraud.

yeah I've been reading a lot of well-sourced substacks and blogposts arguing as much. like sure Elon is admittedly pretty skilled at pumping the stock price up but there's way more internal fraud going on than that, Tesla's internals have just never added up, the question is how long they can keep it going. I mean I thought this was all gonna come crumbling down years ago.

feel like you have to run out of money before a massive corporate fraud collapses, until then you might get some fines or whatever, i guess there could be some smoking gun document that says i elon am doing massive corporate fraud but outside that i think it keeps rolling until it cant anymore, like repeatedly promising full self driving and whatnot is so blatantly fraudulent and no one cares hes doing right in public

Musk vs United Launch Alliance (a.k.a. Boeing & Lockheed Martin) had been an ongoing fight for almost a decade and it was something SpaceX absolutely could not lose. I'll never credit Musk for anything, but I still believe that in the long run - his fights with ULA and the National Automobile Dealers Association are probably more significant than any of his companies.I for sure thought the Tesla Solar Roof class-action was going to be the start of the domino fall.

I was kinda thinking the only thing Tesla really made money on was the carbon offset trading and the bitcoin shenanigans. Those two things I know were pointed out in a couple of their good reports in why the books were doing good in the salad days.

Tesla conducting more layoffs, including entire Supercharger team
Just after laying off “more than 10%” of its global workforce, Tesla is laying off even more employees – including senior executives and long-time veterans of the company, most notably the entire Supercharging team and the executive responsible for negotiating NACS adoption across the industry....Now, more layoffs have been finalized through an email from CEO Elon Musk to executives, first reported by The Information, stating that 6-year veteran Rebecca Tinucci, Tesla’s Senior Director of EV charging, would be leaving the company on Tuesday, along with nearly all of her 500-person charging team (“a few” employees will be reassigned to other teams, according to The Information).Tinucci was responsible for Tesla’s EV charging business, including Supercharging, which means that the cutting of the Supercharger team may reflect a change in direction for Tesla. Tesla has been very successful at getting manufacturers to adopt its NACS plug – an effort led by Tinucci, which got her onto the TIME 100 Climate list – leading many to suggest that it will be able to run a profitable energy delivery business for a long time to come (here’s her presentation from Investor Day 2023).The email states that Tesla will continue to build out some new Superchargers, and will finish those under construction. But relieving the team of its duty may signal a reduction in buildout of the system – at a time when, if anything, faster charging station deployment is needed.Another executive layoff is 10-year veteran Daniel Ho, Director of Vehicle Programs and New Product Initiatives, who was program manager for the Model S, 3 and Y and had previously served 12 years at Ford in product roles.In recent quarters, Tesla has guided for a “pause” inbetween growth phases, expecting that sales growth would be more modest until the release of next-gen vehicles like the cheaper “Model 2” and robotaxi products. There has been some back–and–forth over what form those products would take – but laying off the head of New Product Initiatives reflects potential problems within that team as well.Further, most of former executive Rohan Patel’s public policy team will be eliminated – at a time when many public policy challenges around DC charging, home charging, emissions standards, climate change, and political hostility to superior EV technology are still looming.

arent superchargers supposed to be a big deal for them
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 30 April 2024 15:07 (four days ago) link
yeah as a low info ev person i had sorta thought the supercharger and charge network generally was gonna be a bigger profit center than EVs for them, because they seem quite not good at what it takes to make an actually good EV. or any vehicle.

firing that supercharger team right after lots of manufacturers have committed to using that network is weird as fuck; he's also unfollowed a bunch of his biggest simps on Twitter, which is leading some to think the Tesla board is maybe about to oust him

seems like the supercharger team getting canned is a combo of "well, that's project finished and it's a success so bye!" which is terrible and Elon deciding someone looking more successful than him seeing an effort led by Tinucci, which got her onto the TIME 100 Climate list and not liking that someone else got head pats
